The Identity Series

Starting in the summer of 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, I noticed I was wearing many different hats.  Maybe it was the isolation, but I became so much more aware than I had been before of the different and distinct identities through which I was living.  And then I saw that this was something that all of us do, whether as mum, dad, son or daughter, grandparent, employee, CEO, only child, brother, sister, student, gym buddy, yoga lover, friend, counsellor, carer...  The list is endless.  These identities allow us to understand ourselves in relation to others, and to our surroundings or activities.  Identity also creates a link with our heritage and history, and the incomplete and subtle ways in which knowledge is handed down from one generation to the next.  In my work this sometimes appears (or disappears), leading to questions about whether the image represents an observation from reality or a hand-me-down memory conjured by the imagination.  Though we label our identities to make connection, in reality they are unique. In that way our understanding of what we see is also unique.  Likewise, each brushstroke: hard, messy, smooth  - is unique, so is the mix of colours, which can have subtle variations.


In 2020 I painted a couple of paintings of straight washing lines; Blue Bowl and What Would Happen If I Wasn't Here? I wanted to explore the different ways washing was dried. In 2022, I explored locally to find a different style of washing line. I produced two paintings; one with washing, and one without. Shephard's Hut and Car was formed. There is something between the two objects, the Shepherd's hut that sits on wheels, made for the ease of moving around and a car, also on wheels, designed to move around too.
