The Barton Art Box showcased Turn You Inside Out, an off-beat intriguing show that transformed the intimate art space. The exhibition served as a meditation on the passage of time, inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty of uncertainty.
It was 2017, we were living on the south coast of England in the town of Brighton. I learnt a distant relative had passed away and that she was an artist all of her life. I had never met her. The deceased artist, drew and made prints mostly of landscapes, some of dreamscapes. I was offered anything left in her studio, as it was being discarded. I collected some heavy sheet of papers, used paint brushes and two delicate watercolour sets. For the next three years I’d paint only in watercolour; in our kitchen and on garage floors in the UK and finally back in Melbourne. Turn You Inside Out was a series made in global transition, a series I never intended to show.
