Christopher Forden
In my pieces, I wanted to convey the message of restraint and vulnerability.
The intent is to draw the viewer in by using smaller prints, suggesting that some men from specific backgrounds make big issues less significant or pay it off as nothing.

The image I have created displays some of those qualities. Some men hold back their tears; they confuse sadness for anger or get angry because they are sad. They can shut off and give the greatest one-liner ever. “yeh I’m all good, mate” when really, there’s a cyclone of shit going on inside.

Gordon served 28 years in the ADF, retiring in 2006 due to illness linked to his operational service in Iraq in 2004.
Rediscovering his passion for art, with a little encouragment by his beloved Shona, Gordon has made significant contribution in the art world with published works and having his art recognised at major exhibitions.
Gordon often says "If I had my time again I wouldn’t change anything, I always knew I was going to be a soldier."
