When we were in Ireland at our art residency at Cill Rialaig, we were deeply inspired by the absolute wildness of the great Atlantic, the sky constantly fermenting and throwing up squalls that raced across the waves, sending up spiralling plumes into the air. To me they were like ghosts rising, dancing, flying and disappearing. This sculpture is one of those dancing spirits lifted from the ocean by the wind.

Chrysalis comes from a period when we had many young acrobats from Cirque du Soleil in our life, bouncing around us at our arts festival in Bagni di Lucca. Acrobats have a limited working life due to the huge stresses on their body. This is the moment when one of them is no longer able to work as the athlete she was. It is the moment when she must transform, reinvent herself. She feels bound and restricted while she seeks answers to her next road. Chrysalis is a metaphor for life when we must transform ourselves to become even greater, even more beautiful, more courageous than we were before.

From my series on horses and riders, for me, the journey of life. This sculpture is inspired from a beautiful Arabian horse in Italy that I loved drawing. Much license has been taken with this version of him, but what I wanted to convey was that part on the journey of life when the spirit yearns and reaches for the dream.

This sculpture is inspired by the radio dish telescopes sitting on top of hills looking out to the stars, constantly searching. It is an allegory of mans search for meaning and the quest for knowledge.

Mother comes from my series on Woman. She is inspired by the ancient vessels of the mediterranean and the ancient clay mothers found in the earth in Europe. She is about the abundance of life, the cycles of the seasons and of birth. She is the life guardian.

“(the exhibition) includes paintings from the Scariff islands in County Kerry, (or the Islands of the Kings), Cill Rialaig, 2014 series which were spawned from a residency at the Cill Rialaig Art Project during November 2013. These evocative paintings of the Islands of the Kings call to mind the most beautiful paintings of Belle-Ille by another great Australian painter, the impressionist, John Peter Russell…” Dr Shireen Huda (Art Gallery of New South Wales)

This series of paintings came from our second residency at the Cill Rialaig Art Project in county Kerry, Ireland. Every morning before sunrise I would leave our old miners cottage perched on the cliffs over looking the ocean to paint the changing colours of the weather coming in from the Great Atlantic. The wind could be so strong it would whip the water up from the surface in little cyclones, like Willy Willies whipping up dust in the Australian outback, they would skip along the coast and scream like banshees.

Looking out from our cottage at the residency are two islands looking like vessels. It is told that kings were buried there in prehistory. It has also been said they are markers of ancient Neolithic sea routes from the south, pointing the way to the trading bay of Bailinskelligs.
