- Biography
The universal law that energy cannot be created nor destroyed is where my work develops. From inspiration to method my work embodies the ethos of life, death and rebirth. Capturing the moment of change where form dissolves, contorts and mutates into a new state. Along with influences from folklore, philosophy and religion my work takes shape through meditative gestures that create faint silhouettes and suggestive marks with the intention of capturing the dreamy transcendence in these portals of change. The materials used take center stage and are chosen carefully to let each of their intrinsic qualities shine. The work walks a fine line between abstract and figurative, deliberately blurring reality into fantasy. Like the veil between worlds is disintegrating. Slightly abstracted shapes and symbols also give a nod to ancient rock carvings and pictographs, where people long gone can still speak to us. Symbolism runs deep throughout and a fascination of its use as a global language is at the forefront. Working in sets within a series brings a meditative state and flow that allows the subconscious to also communicate. The combination of materials I use continues to grow and has resulted in a body of work that includes collage, sculpture, textiles and painting.
