ICU — $1,100. Acrylic and spray paint on canvas, 61 × 91.5cm. A line of primary colour cuts through fields of fire — a heart monitor trace made paint.

24 × 36 in. Painted during a vigil - nights beside my partner in the ICU after a medical emergency. The line of primary colour through the centre is the monitor line; everything else is the fire of a body fighting to stay. The title has a double meaning. I see you.

FFT — $1,780. Acrylic on canvas, 121 × 91cm. Cascading vertical lines of amber, burnt orange and deep crimson drip like a frequency spectrum.

48 × 36 in. The Fast Fourier Transform - the algorithm that breaks any signal into its component frequencies. Mathematics as art.

Solar — $960. Acrylic on canvas, 76 × 61cm. Our sun at the centre in sweeping waves of gold, bronze and navy, traced with particles in motion.

30 × 24 in. Surrounded by the elemental radio pulses of the universe. White and black traces are particles in motion - the fundamental forces that hold everything together.

Horizon Line — $1,780. Acrylic on canvas, 121 × 91cm. A wide pink sky over a gold field, split by a dark horizon — quiet and expansive.

48 × 36 in.

Mosi-oa-Tunya — $700. Acrylic on canvas, 50.5 × 71cm. 'The Smoke that Thunders' - white water cascading over Victoria Falls. Companion piece to Zambezi.

Zambezi — $700. Acrylic on canvas, 50.5 × 71cm. Beneath the spectacle - the river's turmoil as it plunges over Victoria Falls. Companion piece to Mosi-oa-Tunya.

In Bloom — $700. Acrylic on canvas, framed 43 × 53cm. A meadow in full growth - grass and flowers across a vivid yellow ground, hints of violet and blue.

Held Aloft — $700. Acrylic on canvas, framed 43 × 53cm. Burgundy plumes rise on tall stems above gold grass - mulla mulla of inland Australia, flame-like spikes after rain. Colour from dry ground.

Barossa Gold — $580. Acrylic and spray paint on canvas, 46 × 31cm. The Barossa Valley at its most elemental - a blazing gold sun over a purple-mauve sky, deep green vines in raised texture.

Orbital Drift — $580. Acrylic on canvas, 46 × 31cm. Earth from space, teal continents threaded with white particle trails like tracked satellites, framed in rust-red atmosphere. Companion to Solar.

Canopy — $620. Acrylic on canvas, 41 × 31cm. Bold fields of yellow and deep green in sweeping strokes. Warm, vibrant, full of natural life.

Petrichor — $620. Acrylic on canvas, 45 × 45cm. The smell of rain on dry earth - dry copper soil, ink-dark drops landing and scattering. Companion piece to First Drop.

Lightning — $500. Acrylic on canvas, 30.5 × 30.5cm. A charge of gold splitting a deep violet ground - energy caught mid-strike.

Crepe — $620. Acrylic on reclaimed canvas textured with crepe paper, 40 × 40cm. A flowering vine trails through a jungle canopy in violet, mauve and white - the shower orchid, lit from above left.

Shoot — $260. Acrylic on canvas, 13 × 18cm. A small, vivid study in organic colour - deep green and gold in fluid strokes. Raw and alive.

First Drop — $260. Acrylic on canvas, 13 × 18cm. The very first drop of rain on parched earth, at true scale. Companion piece to Petrichor.

Frequency — $360. Acrylic on reclaimed canvas, 20 × 20cm. Waves of gold and magenta rippling across the canvas - rhythm made visible.

Aureole — $360. Acrylic on recovered canvas, 20 × 20cm. A far-off sun glows gold at the heart of a churning violet field, ringed by a halo of light. Companion piece to Solar.
