You won't see this at MoMA

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.

Underworld

Graphical abstraction of the interior sandstone walls of The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) in Hobart, Tasmania. Quasi meta-art two steps somewhat removed. Art from a place within a place that holds art. Follow up to my coastal series [link]. It would have been great to use a tripod although wasn't an option, so jacked up the ISO.

Graphical abstractions of sandstone rock formations located at flat rock in the Northern Grampian's Victoria, Australia. I love this small rock formation to have so many different shapes within one place created from so many layers of compressed sand over a millennium

My interest in graphical abstraction came from my interest in comics as a kid and coming across the work of Jeffery Smart [link], Roy Lichtenstein [link] and Piet Mondrian [link] I like the idea of a one to one relationship a two dimensional medium representing effectively a two dimensional subject.
