artist statement

There's a thing that happens with the landscape, when I'm out in the field. It's there, constructing the picture plain, as it were. Horizon, sky, land; each translates into an area of the painting as important as the man-made element that is the subject never-the-less. 

This series was the main project for 2011. It was exciting and challenging to deal with the strong landsape element of the project. I loved being able to make large paintings and to extend myself some. Thankyou to the family who invited me to be part of this - it was fun.
Christine Porter, Lismore, December 2010
