MEAN STREAK

Made from a witches brew of paint-tinted-rainwater, graphite, charcoal, ash, sand and/or glue, and restrained, considered mark-making- the works in MEAN STREAK evoke the jagged edges of pitted coffee rock contours, the chaotic movement of startled emus and sun-bleached bone to create a series of a mixture of small & large scale paintings that ask the viewer to denounce “Good Vibes Only”.

​

Borne out of emotional entropy of weathering devastating familial grief, as well as local and global chronic crises; the works in Mean Streak draw parallels between the tensions and shifts that occur in a re-wilded world, with the inherent messiness of social and emotional upheaval.

 

They are an ode to pure frustration, utter fascination and the strange catharsis of surrendering to anger whilst lamenting those who cannot or will not do the same.
