Edges of Home
26 September – 18 October, 2026
Edges of Home brings together nine seascapes inspired by the changing light and rugged coastline of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. Each painting looks towards the meeting of land and sea, a place I return to for rest, fresh air, and a chance to reset. Time spent at the water’s edge quiets the distractions of everyday life and shifts my attention to the movement of light, weather, and tide.
The paintings are made in oil on reinforced aluminium panels rather than traditional stretched linen. Strong, rigid, and weather-resistant, the panels are more than a practical choice. In using them, I make a quiet gesture of protection, giving stronger support to a coastline whose beauty lies in its vulnerability and constant change.
Together, the works move between calm and energy, from still shorelines and early morning light to breaking waves and drifting sea spray. They celebrate the wild beauty of the coastline that surrounds my home and continues to shape the way I see and experience this place.
