TEMPO

Tempo - rate of motion or activity.

I have created a series of paintings using the Australian landscape as my subject matter. These works explore the effects of time on the creative process.

The six small paintings.

I have focused on landscapes appropriating a technique Monet used in his work. Monet’s technique involved painting the same view multiple times throughout the day on separate canvases to capture the changing effects of light on the landscape. I chose to paint the same scene spending varying amounts of time on each canvas thereby illustrating how time spent can affect outcome.
