Great Balls of Fire

Morris“I am inspired by the iconic images of my childhood in Ballarat. Australian symbols like ‘Hoges’, GT Falcons and Monaros permeated every fibre of my being. I still remember staring in awe at my father’s friend’s sparkly green speedboat named ‘anyhow…..’.

These images, along with cartoons, pop stars and religious icons, were my childhood landscape. I also loved the random patterns and textures of all the stickers on the wardrobe in my room. Some half ripped off and others half-stuck over another. These symbols and aesthetics form the basis of my art.
