After Resettling back to the Blue Mountains I decided to start anew by expanding my practice with works of oil pastels, searching for a way to find the freedom of forms and textures without focusing too highly on the rigidity in my brushstrokes.

I went back to basic with still life of everyday objects well through to most abstract depictions of landscapes, gaining a multitude of inspirations from the many scenery available within the Blue Mountains National Park.

After researching into Symbolism and the esoteric arts I decided to expand upon forms and adding figurative aspect to my paintings. Incorporating themes of mysticism, magic and female empowerment in nature.

After moving interstate and finding old photographs in boxes I started experimenting with collages to seek out shapes that I would not have worked with previously when I was predominantly only using paint as a medium.

During this time I was mostly travelling while visiting my home country of Indonesia going through Jakarta, Bali then Madura where my father originated from. Towards the end of the year I went Cherry picking first in Victoria then down to Tasmania. There was a lot of photography involved, I did drawings and paintings straight on to my journal, trying to depict landscapes and emotions as well as the people I met along the way.
