Sun Shine On

Sun Shine On is a painting project made this year in Whanganui a tara Wellington. It addresses the act of painting as a meditation on time, colour and light. It celebrates the solitary experience of perceiving sky,  light and colour at the start of the day and as the sun goes down below the horizon at the end. The work is informed by study of Western, Eastern and local art practices in particular the role of abstraction as a contemplative means of reflecting on realities and perception.
