Artist statement:

Bluegum depicts an imagined view through the frosted 12 pane windows of my studio, idealised architecture amongst the hills and mountains of Nipaluna/Hobart. The title is derived from a Dulux Colourbond chart and references the prescriptive and banal approach to contemporary suburban house design. And offers hope that we will one day do better.

Geelong Gallery acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the Gallery and its collections are located, the Wadawurrung People of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to all Elders, past, present and emerging.
