the Australian dream

“The Australian Dream” series was inspired by the colours and iconography which came to mind of rural Australia. My love of colour and the intensity of the colours of the Australian landscape were complimentary factors. In this series, marriage and the family home feature as being traditionally Australian. But the innate affection for the cattle dog, the “dunny-out-the-back” and the FX and FJ Holdens meant these icons also became features of the series. As the series progressed, the concepts of commonality yet individuality appeared. And for anyone who has ever had them … who can forget home-knitted socks!
