Book Description
This exhaustive catalogue of my life's works was created in congruence with my PhD studies. It combines traditional drawings and digital illustration in a unique visual co-existence that emerges out of the zeitgeist of early days of digitisation. The images blur the boundaries of what is possible regarding traditional & digital mediums framed by technology from the early nineties to the present day. Essentially Melbournian in its localities & locations from the city to Mordialloc and Footscray, many people who live here will note the landmarks I have creatively identified. I think the book is evocative in the language of mark-making, distilled in its crisp & confident graphic nature, auto-ethnographic in that it focusses on the self then spirals out to broader society, and is both a public and very private modality of expression. It's the result of half a life's yearning of visual artistic research into the rational and esoteric realms via the vehicle of examining both the appearance and symbology of how reality and non-ordinary reality manifest within me.
