Abstraction seems to be a theme I always return to and this series was somewhat going back to the future having competed part one [link] on new years eve last year so only fitting to complete part ii at the end of this year. Channelling Rothko's colour field work with the specular reflections of the Christmas tree lights in Geelong off the waters of Corio Bay.
As a parting remark by a college principle, I was told that he would look forward to the day that he saw my work hanging in MoMA. As such, I wasn’t quite sure how to take the remark. Was it final and long overdue gatekeeper validation of my clear artistic genius, or a form of mild mocking, better placed in a high school playground of false hope? I'll leave it up for you to decide. If you do actually see any of this stuff at MoMA in the future, my apologies in advance.
