For five years, from 2011-2016, I had the opportunity to live with my family in Western Australia.  It was during that time that I first learned about the labyrinth of invisible pathways which meander all over Australia and are known to the Aboriginals as ‘Songlines’.  

As my understanding of Songlines grew it affirmed and enriched my instinctual use of line as way-finder in my own work. For over a decade, I have filled canvases with lines, maps, and marks in the assertion of place.   Songlines 11 continues to explore my long-standing visual curiosity around diagrams and structures found in multiple sources including: maps, the branch systems of trees, street signage and nautical flags.
