Artist’s Statement
I’m six, belly down on a fake floor, carelessly drawing, a bulky, noisy 35 mm camera hovers over my head; it’s an early TV ad for a floor-cleaning product; I get to be as messy as I want!
My mother a painter; my husband, an architect, and so many artist friends past and present, I don’t remember a time where I was not surrounded by images and the people creating them.
I’m also a performer and a director of performers and I think that shows in my work. More than looking through the lens, I look into my subject’s experience of life and of this moment. I like to believe that what I “see” goes beyond my lens by creating an experienced moment that I try to capture in a way that symbolizes our “affair” with the NOW. Though I try to do that as casually as possible, I’m involved with them and they with me.

Thanks Viviane for the kind words, you always have had toward my work! I will have some more of that recent work on my site soon. i love your images. Is that guy with the Baby in red benneton shirt, your relative, and is that walk down to the beach, at your house? Gorgeous! I’m gonna send you something my favorite, outspoken Lead Singer, Steve Kilbey (The Church) just wrote, and if you haven’t already come across it on Fb, it’s worth seeing! I’ll also send y’all a picture of the fireplace I am currently installing in my studio! and lastly….It just so happens that my current favorite song is by a Band , in your very town, so if y’all get a chance to go see them……Do It! They are called The Twerps, and the song is called “Dreaming”! G’Day Mate!
