Box Hill Senior Secondary College, Box Hill North |
NGV: Well Graham, what are you doing this year? G:
I am doing a drawing course with the VCA (Victorian College of the Arts)
G: Yes but it also encompasses any medium you might like to adopt, it has elected studies such as computer animation NGV: Have you abandoned painting for a while? G: Yes you could say that. At the start of last year I didn't really want to do painting at all, the system as it was had this individualistic notion of quality, so painting was at that stage my most skilled practice, so I want with what was safe, rather than explore a new medium I had not experienced before.

NGV: As a result of being forced into painting if you like, did you find it hard coming up with something to paint? G: No not really. These paintings are sort of like a continuation of paintings that I had being doing since year 10 really. I was becoming interested in other things but chose to work in an area that would ensure me a good result.
NGV: Did anything influence you in chosing urban landscapes? G: It is all about my local area. I tried to produce almost mythological images of the place. Most of these are of the same area — Ferntree Gully or Kallista — the views that I have seen from the train going down School or travelling by car down Burwood Highway. |
