Artist Statement

Tim’s artwork is inspired by Australian wildlife – it’s as much how they see us as how we see them

Our anthropomorphic reaction can spark different thinking about wildlife, their lack of sentimentality allowing us to project how they perceive us. As the artwork seems to be a mirror for the viewer – different people taking different meaning from the same work – Tim’s hope is that it helps think about wildlife in a personal way. He is always aiming to achieve portraits beyond simple representation

Tim calls his works Lightcuts - like woodcuts sculpted with light - the modern equivalent of the now defunct destructive dye development process

Tim developed his practice from the ground up. Based on the full gamut of light in his original images, he sculpts away unwanted light to reveal vivid colours, patterns, and contrasts that would otherwise go unseen. As this process is highly organic, Tim is unable to reproduce the same original work twice

Tim’s medium is fine art pigment on giclée metallic paper for a vibrant colour presentation
