Many of my drawings are presented in the format of scaled up microscope slides - as I zoom in on the intricate patterns and textures that I find within the urban environment.

Detail of Bougainville Street, Manuka (footpath study), copic marker on stonehenge paper.

My drawings are made up of hundreds, probably thousands, of tiny dots. The repetition in this technique becomes for me a meditative process.

Philip Hunter, Small Plain 4, 2003, Etching, 23.5 x 17.7 (plate size)  *Represented by Olsen Irwin Gallery, 63 Jersey Road Woohllahra NSW Sydney.  Hunter is one of the main Artists who sparked my interest in the Australian Landscape. It is his broad range of marks, materials and technique that makes his artworks so powerful to the viewer. This image above is one of his smaller works, yet still contains the same impact, detail and originality.  It was these aspects that truly influenced my artworks for the In Translation Exhibition.

Kelly Hayes-  This particular painting is influenced by the tropical flowers/plants found in the Green House at National Botanic Gardens. This is one of my final paintings for the show. I enjoy the detail and texture seen in these shots.

Work in progress, copic marker on stonehenge paper.

Through my drawing technique, I magnify the intricate patterns that I find within urban surfaces, transforming the textures into surfaces made up of thousands of tiny dots – a meditative process that is a way to investigate our experience of the world around us.
