Lipstick and the Moon
As long as I can remember I’ve been fascinated by light.
The mysterious play between shadow and light gains even more power outdoors. In collaboration with the landscape, light constructs huge rehearsals everyday, allowing someone to shine and someone to stay in shadow. I seek such effects in these paintings, where the proportion of shadow and light is very different in each work.
The storyline itself also becomes a metaphorical source of light, where characters create their own luminescence . "I love her shiny red hair" thinks the dog in Terracotta Moon, and it starts radiating so much light that it illuminates the bridge and surroundings.
There is a strong sentimental and personal thread through the work. Be it my daughter’s shoes, which found their way into my studio after she had outgrown them (Foot for Thought), or the cheeky magpie on an old lawnmower accompanying the couple caressing under the grevillea tree (In Tune). But the point is how quickly the light changes…
My works are filled with joy, humour and affirmation of life, but there is an awareness of impermanence of things and the possibility of change, what some would call the darker side. I’m glad it exists in my work. It makes us even more alive.

Sundown
Every evening in 2009, Tim Miller, an artist from Rockley near Bathurst, took up his pastels –and occasionally, oils - to explore the brief, glorious littoral as the earth turns and the sun disappears. Making these images began as a meditation, a moment of connection with the transitory nature of phenomena and our existence here. He also committed to the discipline of paying attention every evening for 365 days to sundown to create one vast artwork made of 365 separate pieces. Individually, each image is small, almost miniature, each one delicate or flamboyant as the moment of sundown demands; seen together, they are an all-absorbing meditation on light and colour.
