Accidental Families

Alex — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:08:16 +0000

“Accidental Families” for me, is looking back on life, and recognising that the whole thing is held together by a series of wonderful accidents and chance encounters.

I don’t think I have planned a single thing my entire life.

“Inland Plains”

Alex — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 02:39:37 +0000

The birds featured in this work are called Bush-Stone Curlews. They are a native Australian bird which you will see regularly where I live, sneaking through the streets at night.
They are truly fascinating animals, silent statues one moment, running the next, long legs gently carrying their bodies along as if it were floating 30cm above the ground.
The Curlew’s call is quite eery, like a woman crying out, but for me that adds to their already make-believe quality. Once a sound so foreign to me, it has now become a comfort, floating through my bedroom window each night.

“The Stillness Followed”

Alex — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 06:40:59 +0000

I was recently asked to talk about this work and this is what came out! -

The Stillness Followed, for me, is about the subsequent change that happens to us following a big event or a “storm” in our lives. I think that everything has a positive, and the branch in this painting is just that. It symbolises the regrowth in that silent time after a “storm” has passed… Growing in a different direction to that which you were previously intending as a result of reflection.
I put the White-breasted Wood Swallows on the branch not only because they are regular visitors to the trees around my house, but also to demonstrate that change and growth are a natural part of being a person. To demonstrate that the natural side of the world won’t judge us for that.

I wouldn’t want this interpretation to cloud over your original one. I think that’s the best thing about art, that it can be looked at differently each time, and take on multiple meanings to whoever is looking at it.

This original work has been sold, however there are canvas Giclée Reproductions available See Available Works page for details.
