urban tide community of Hobsons Bay WendyRennie represented by Phaze 3 Gallery Deep Waters acrylic and ink on canvas 2005, 121cm x 91cm Born in Wellington, New Zealand in 1975, Wendy trained as a sign-writer before commencing part time studies in the 1990s which culminated in her completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Quay School of the Arts, Wanganui in 2002. In 2003 she moved to Australia to pursue her career and is currently living, working and exhibiting in Hobsons Bay but has also continued to exhibit in New Zealand. artiststatement As an artist, my work is just as much about the process of creating work, as it is the final result. This process involves working on a lot of paintings at one time, which helps to build a momentum, creating energy that then becomes a rhythm. This is where intuition takes over, hand and mind work together and gestures become automatic. My intent for the finished work is similar to the method I use. By building up a level of energy while painting that translates on a subconscious level my own experiences within the natural environment. In this case, my works are derived from the Williamstown beach area. My intention is not to reproduce the landscape literally, but the essence of a moment spent.
guest artist urban tide JennyDavis Guernsey St. oil on board 2004, 90cm x 60cm Jenny was born in Carlton, Victoria. At the age of 12 she won the Moomba drawing competition. In 1979 she travelled to the Northern Territory and was inspired by the colours and space which has had a large influence on her life and work. In 1980 she moved to country Victoria and became involved in the crafts industry opening her own craft shop in 1987. During the 1990s her interest in fine art began to assert itself and she was accepted into the Victorian College of the Arts. Her studies were curtailed due to illness, but over the past five years she has worked hard at her professional practice and was recently invited to represent Australia at an exhibition for the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004 and also the Florence Biennale in Italy in 2004-6. artiststatement Through my own observations and mark making, I wish to capture the essence of the past, by investigating and recording the traces left behind on the surface and the hidden space. I spend a lot of time, drawing, painting and photographing cities, alleyways, buildings, drain-holes, garbage dumps, streets, architecture and doorways. By taking the forgotten marks and scratches from surfaces rarely observed, I want to transform them, raising them to a higher plateau of awareness by making them more relevant in my work. I use these marks and scratches as history’s D.N.A.
