In the heart of Rome (Trastevere) is a hidden cloister with a millennium of history of life, healing, silence, death and the sacred. Ospedale Nuova Margherita ( circa 1089 AD) .
Silent and still. Calm and intense. Rich in colour and stark in emotion.
Silenzio nello spirito. (Spirit of Silence). Within this is the human condition. One internal space. No need for voice. A man.
Born in Adelaide, David began his career in Sydney 32 years ago as a film photographer working with transparency and 35mm. In 2008, he transitioned to the digital medium. Since 2004, David has held 13 solo exhibitions. These explored the female nude, the abstract in nature, Australian landscapes, and European cities. David’s last three exhibitions have included themes of solitude.
In 2019, David exhibited a series of 37 portraits in a 17th Century church in Croatia. He joined with local artist, Veljko Radovniković, for an acclaimed photo-documentary project providing voice and face to the elders of a small Dalmatian fishing village.
David’s desire for creative expression is foremost. He believes that the essence of his work is found in the initial seeing. From this, the imagining and composing flows.
David’s career is augmented with being a qualified Art Therapist – as a previous clinician, group facilitator and teacher. His interests are with the aged, dementia and practitioner development.
David’s other passions include swimming in seas, Italian Opera, palliative care, design, teapots, the Rabbitohs, gardening and the music of JS Bach, Bowie and Gustav Mahler.
