A collection of artworks inspired by tree bark.
Based on close-up photos of native trees taken at Rimbun Dahan Art residency, Malaysia.
The artworks become a contemplation on the natural elements, expressed through mark-making, textured surfaces and heightened colours.
An ongoing observation of trees, translating organic forms, textures and patterns of growth into abstraction.
Dawn Gloam explores the liminal space between darkness and light.

Dawn Gloam, 2026 | Oil on Canvas | 92 x 31 cm
Inspired by the fading gloam of dusk and the arrival of dawn, the painting traces a horizon of shifting shadows and illumination. Layers of deep tonal marks rise into brighter passages of yellow, orange and blush pink, reflecting the subtle transformations of the sky as the sun begins its ascent. The flowing forms evoke the movement of light across the landscape, capturing a transient moment when night recedes and the world is gradually revealed through colour, atmosphere and reflection.
