The following group of drawings were completed in late 2008. My father is Italian and this series of drawings reinforced my link and longing for Italy and my heritage. It is also my first foray into including text into my artwork. Each drawing offers glimpses of removed gardens and courtyards. Some provide no obvious means of entry or make entry difficult. I think this alludes to my sense of separation from where I would ideally like to be, not so much a physical environment but rather a place of relief and rest for my being. They speak also of the awkward distance that separates Australia and Europe.
