Antipodal Art: Art from across the globe

Born UK arrived Australia 1982

Studying at various institutions in WA including Claremont Art School and Curtin University allowed Trish to experiment within various art fields including painting, sculpture and metal smithing. Continuing life drawing and portraiture sessions together with the observations of nature in her environment have influenced her work and broadened the scope of her practice

“My current work deals with layers of memory and the blurring of these memories as time passes. The fluid movement between memory and thought is questioned. To what extent has the mind created stories and how have the memories been idealized?  The memories become the scenes of a play. The stage is set. As the idea struggles to become established, the painting takes over and I find the pure joy of being in that other place. As if in a play, I am compelled to re enact the paintings until the process has run its course and I can move on.”
