Artist Statement:
My art has its roots in the
imagination. It is the
crucible where systems of
humanity (urban, social,
political, religious etc.) are
synthesised with nature
(earth, matter, energy,
emotions) to form dreams/
visions. This is the artist's
journey of transformation. My
imaginative art deals with
experiences from these systems
which inspire me towards the
expression of a unique image.
These images offer alternative
contemporary responses to
patterns/cycles reflected in
myth, religious texts such as
the Psalms, geometry and
symbolic forms. All systems
must be open to change or else
that system will stagnate and
perish. The relationship
between the systems and their
inevitable return to the void
is at the basis of my art. ...
