Amongst the abstract shapes there are recognisable flower shapes. It is the drooping trumpet shape that characterises the jacaranda and, along with the colour, gives the painting its subject. The swoop from the right to the left is what brings our eye from drifting off to the right of the work. This should be more apparent when the painting is complete.
For a couple of hours each week, I teach mathematics to a small group of bright children at a Brisbane school. I love maths and it seems part of my nature. I think that this influences the way I approach my art, because I work in sections and complete it before I move on, as opposed to working in a random fashion across a painting.
