ARTIST STATEMENT
'The Way Home' is a series of oil paintings that depict the view of the landscape on my everyday journey home. As I approach the end of my adolescence, I have come to realise the impermanency of my surrounding environment. In future, I will eventually live away from my family and the pathway that I follow will bring me increasingly further away from where I originate. My body of work is a visual representation of past memories and experiences that we sometimes take for granted and dismiss, as time passes us by.
ARTWORK PROCESS
A short film was recorded on my smartphone documenting my journey on the way home. Images were then selected and captured as the reference for each individual oil painting that are individually framed in black butt timber.
