HANGING BY A THREAD

Growing up in Germany and calling Australia home, the unique landscape had a  profound influence on my paintings. 

“Underwater Worlds” is a series, born from my fascination with the ocean and  my frustration at watching it being polluted and destroyed. 

As a response to all the debris in the oceans the paintings are created with  materials like plastic, balloons and straws instead of a brush. I have also  incorporated fishing lines salvaged after being washed up on a northern  territory beach.  

My “ Underwater Worlds “ series is a way for me to engage in a conversation  about this topic.
