The Affair of Venus & Saturn

Photomedia, ink print on foam boards

My work is an exploration of the relationship of someone I love. Capturing all aspects of this relationship - from the highs to the lows - it remains ambiguous from the two lovers as to who is Venus and who is Saturn. This is a deliberate choice of Gods who were mythologically never romantically involved but astrologically share a complex and passionate relationship. Both lovers embrace and alternate the different qualities typical to the respected Mythical Gods in topic, producing a strong and complex power play in a world balancing lust and love, emotional and physical, compassion and conflict.

The orange brush strokes appear dynamic and free-flowing, with splatters and tapered ends.Simplified waratah flower in deep red colour with the words NSW Government in dark blue stacked underneath.
