Oh my big messy haired sister up down all around Minnesota twister

This painting is from a series of work I exhibited in Adelaide, in 2025. The series was exhibited under the name “Clang".
The works in this series were tongue in cheek reflections of the artist. They show light hearted humour and staring at the sun sincerity. This body of work reflected on a recent car accident I had, putting me in hospital for six days and leaving with a bad heart, and my experience as an artist practicing for over a decade. Resulting with work on themes of anxiety surrounding issues of the self, the body, urbanisation, climate, and artistry.
This work is named after a poem it reads:
“Oh my big messy haired sister, up, down, all around Minnesota twister. What would I know ? I am an old stone, in my moss and mildew throne.
With your legs, hands and feet I figured you’d be more worried about things out of your reach, but you seem mostly concerned with your peace, well I’ll tell you one thing, I’ve lived many a year, from the bottom of the deep dark sea, coral reefs, and now here. Unlike me, you things are brief, jump up and down endlessly with your big feet, leave, come back again smaller, to again ask me about peace, like nothing I’ve said previously meant anything.”
