Active research and research interests:
My research relates specifically to my work as an artist. I am interested
in and have pursued throughout my career the principals of painting
as a methodology in the construction of form within disciplines
such as installation, writing, audio and theatre.
Currently I am writing a narrative for the www commissioned by Artspace
in Sydney, called: Mr. Whites Diary; an incomplete view of the end.
I am also working with the artist Rosemary Laing on the project
SPIN . SPIN is the subject of a current submission to the University
of NSW, Australian research Council Small Grant Support in 1999.
This work has confirmed presentations at the National Museum of
Contemporary Art in Osaka, Japan and The Australian Centre for Contemporary
Art in Melbourne. (FOR:120402/SEC:200200/GC:507
