The Hibiscus Eater
These types of works were developed from applying colour and smearing it over the surface and turning the painting around till something appeared. From the mix of dark colour appeared a hibiscus bloom and a lizard-all imaginary. At the time I was recovering from cancer surgery and living in a 3 x 3 m tin shed on a block of land at Eudlo in the Sunshine Coast hinterland slowly going mad living alone with the company of three cats.
