Environmental relationships build aspects of place where dwellers, the surrounding geography (person-made or natural world) and the genius loci are complex, inseparable and enmeshed. The observations of atmosphere, or genius loci, have become key in my overall understanding of place. It enters the home, permeates the street, and often silently presses in on our daily activity, whether in the suburbs or in the countryside. These painted works represent small moments where we can see those interconnections, the suckling kittens in the basket, a stance in a silent paddock, or a crab claw cooked after a day’s outing.
