'The Three Romances' is a series of 10 works on paper. Each work utilises three romantic motifs; sunsets, sailing ships and the ocean. The information that has informed these images comes out of research around the history of Tasmania, focusing in particulra on the conflict between the First Australians and the British coloinsers around 1829 when the conflict was at its peak, and in part by Richard Flanagan's book 'Wanting'.

'Inland Sea' is a body of work which considerd the historical treatment of our natural and cultural environment. The title is inspired by journal writings of early European explorers who assumed, without doubt, that there would be a sea at the centre of Australia. Individual elements work together to consider the comtemporary and ongoing effects of occupation, settlement and ownership.

See below for some production images demonstrating some new techniques for breaking down surfaces. This new body of work is trying to reproduce some of the natural processes of decomposition and deconstruction. The final work is pictured above and the process images give only some idea of what this surface has been through.

Road Works

'East West' (2008) - Paraffin Encaustic, oil, bitumen, newspaper, and glass on canvas

This image was completed for the Mundaring Arts Centre 'Roadworks' Exhibition. and was accompanied by the following statement:

Nigel Hewitt has an ongoing interest in the ability of time and place to tell stories about our personal and collective histories. This image pays reference to the natural and manmade developments of our landscape and, in doing so, encourages us to stop, look closely, and consider the elements which are in continual flux, as stories and identities unfold before us.
