This piece came about when I was on a retreat (from the pain ritual) in Hepburn Springs. After my tutorials with Jeff Makin I wanted to continue the simplicity he taught me of finding ordinary objects to paint. So I took off without my usual planned accessories and found these (most reflective, shiny, not to mention perforated!) items on location!

Drying Cutlery was a finalist piece in the 2013 Borough of Queenscliffe’s 150th Anniversary Art Awards.
