Goondiga Edgar Hecate’s Tower

When I started Year 12 I had in mind that I definitely wanted to do a ‘big’ painting. Works by artists such as John Firth-Smith and Anselm Kiefer influenced my work. I began experimenting on a much smaller scale, testing different applications of materials and materials themselves. After doing these experiments and completing a number of sketches, I decided on a final sketch to apply to the large canvas I used. There were questions throughout my work how abstract it should be but I am extremely happy with the balance between the landscape and abstractions.
