Black Night, White Dog
For many years I have studied the dogs and landscape at my local dog park. I am fascinated by its existance behind a dense screen of trees within an inner city suburb. Night transforms – and a beam of light reveals a dog approaching down a path.

One Night at dog park
Finalist Len Fox Painting Award 2019
I often wonder what ensues in dog park at night. This painting is not an observation of an event I have seen or captured, but of my thoughts of people, of dogs and of this space. The only actuality is the painting.

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.

Tuesday Morning
Much of the time, dog park is empty of people. Tall trees and birdsong conceal the fact that the park lies within a highly urbanised inner-city suburb. This Tuesday morning, it is packed.

Full Moon at Dog park
Finalist Tattersall’s Landscape Prize

Much of the time, dog park is empty of people. Tall trees and birdsong conceal the fact that the park lies within a highly urbanised inner-city suburb. I often wonder what ensues when no one is around. This painting is not an observation of an event, but my imagining of dogs and of this space. The only actuality is the painting.
