This is an ongoing series of works using gouache on paper. Attainment is the reach, the striving for something and the ladder is my symbol for this. I have painted and repainted Attainment in many different places from the Solomon Islands to Canberra and back to Melbourne. It is a motif I return to again and again. It encompasses all my ideas about print, repetition and the copy as well as having the psychological element of the ladder, striving and climbing.
