Two etchings from a series of six that focused on the looming black void in suburbia. These were shown at my grad show alongside my most large scale works to date, three oil pastel dogs that will appear in a later post. They developed out of a year and a half long exploration of suburban fear. The black tree is a tool used to obliterate the picturesque beachside suburbs.

I think these are wonderful – bautiful and menacing.
Comment by Fitzroyalty August 7, 2009 @ 2:20 pmThanks, these are some of the very few works of mine that exist away from me with collectors, I’m just starting to realise the niceness in that.
Comment by Kate August 7, 2009 @ 6:50 pmI love love love these kate. How come we never talked much about the void? When I come back could I take you out to dinner and you tell me about this void.
Comment by justaperfectday August 8, 2009 @ 1:34 amMiss I could spend hours talking to you about the void and I don’t know why we haven’t before. It came into my work after seeing some robert motherwell lithographs. I’m planning on posting some of the drawings that helped me develop it in my own work.
