Dog Park in the time of covid
Finalist Lethbridge Landscape Prize 2020
At about 6.15am people trickle into dog park with their dogs and the day begins. This year it is different. We have to stand 1.5m apart. The dogs continue to play – no social distancing for them. Within a few weeks, people are banned from gathering in the park.

Maria’s Garden, Clothes Line
Finalist, Adelaide Perry Prize for Drawing 2018
It is at the clothesline that Maria’s garden combines practicality and decoration in an uniquely Australian way. The Hill’s Hoist is ringed by geraniums and mown grass, with an outer ring of pot plants and flowers, all grown from ‘cuts’.

Maria’s Garden, Harvest Moon
Finalist, Adelaide Perry Prize for Drawing 2017
It had been several months since I had first sketched in my neighbour Maria’s garden and I found it overtaken by the beans that now covered every frame and trellis. The space was more closed in, rooms of green with a central corridor, and it feels like those beans could take over the house, even the world. We had a harvest moon at this time, and again the garden was transformed by the intensity of the light of a super-moon, drained of colour but with a sharp clarity of detail and shadow.
