Statement
Dominique lives in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.
Dominique has a degree in Visual Arts from the University of Newcastle, where she majored in printmaking.
Dominique likes to go outside.
She likes to go outside to see the surface of things, and to photograph them.
In her work, surfaces capture the elements of the world. The elements of nature.
Air. Water. Earth. Fire.
Her work captures the nature of the these elements in a moment in time.
Warm, Cold. Wet. Dry.
In earlier life, Dominique worked in health. Her work calls to mind the earliest theorems of man’s knowledge of health. The Ancient Greek conceptualisation in medicine of the Humors and their seasons:
Warm & wet - (Spring);
Warm & dry - (Summer).
Cold and dry - (Autumn);
Cold and wet - (Winter);
Dominique’s work mirrors a stillness in her as she works.
Each image a meditation on being.
A mood reflected on a beautiful surface.
