The series of pictures in Glimpsed in Passing were the product of a journey - or rather several journeys on different levels. A move from the human figure to the landscape as the primary source of my images. An exploration of different forms and media. An awakening to new ways of looking at the world around me.

In the autumn of 1998 my partner and I travelled in our old car from Melbourne up the Victorian coastline and on to Batemans Bay. As always with journeys, I carried the artist's burden of somehow having to capture the experience and distil or transform it.

The process of making the work involved fragmentation of black and white photographs that generated xerox copies and then turps release prints. These were then recombined via collage with gouached papers to form an artist's book based on the journey.

The artist book formed the basis of the paintings for the exhibition.
