My art career spans five decades and builds on my lifelong interest in meditation, philosophy, and feminism as conduits of freedom and peace. This book provides a survey of the work I created in the lead-up to, and during, my practice-led Ph.D., from 2010 to 2013. It is the fourth of a series of books that documents the progression of my art practice. These images include paintings, light boxes, sculptures, photography, videos, and installations. The common threads of interest are still: minimalist expression, textural colour fields, installations as well as objects, and space, both inside and outside of the work. Space is never empty, both in the artwork and its surrounding environment. I aim to manifest works that are supportive of nuance and mindful attentiveness, and that creates a moment of counterpoint to the ubiquitous, anxious, complexity of information overload.
