SELECTED WORKS
JANUS SERIES
Using the ancient Roman deity Janus as a totem, this body of work explores duality, division and the erosion of middle ground in an increasingly polarised world. Across sculpture and painting, opposing faces occupy a single form, reflecting the tension between conflicting truths and perspectives. Faceted and reflective surfaces act as shifting prisms, changing with the viewer’s position and implicating them in the work itself. The series considers how identity, belief and perception are shaped by where we stand.
OF MEN & MONSTERS
Drawing on Greco-classical mythology, this body of work recasts familiar archetypes through a contemporary lens, exploring masculinity, queerness, vulnerability and the theatricality of gender.
Classical torsos, sirens and hybrid figures are reimagined as unstable symbols rather than fixed ideals. Works such as the removable wolf-head torso examine the alpha male as a constructed myth, while other figures disrupt traditional ideas of strength and beauty.
Across the series, ancient forms become vehicles for questioning the identities and behaviours we inherit, perform and project.
FORM & FISSURE
Inspired by the profound synchronicity between the human body and the natural world, this ongoing series of fine art photography and sculpture is a love letter to the rugged coastline Paul has inhabited as a Bondi local for more than a decade.
The collection explores the physical synergy between form and environment through the lens of yogic philosophy—where yoga translates literally to ‘union’. As a dedicated yogi, Paul is naturally drawn to the discipline and geometry of form. In these works, he precisely aligns the contours of the human body with the ancient, weathered crevices of Bondi's sandstone cliffs.
The resulting imagery is a deep meditation on belonging. By mirroring the human silhouette against the earth, Paul suggests that our presence here is not just a location we occupy, but a biological continuation of the very landscape we inhabit.
