Artist Statement:
I have recently settled in
Christchurch, New Zealand,
after living, traveling,
studying and exhibiting in
Asia for more than a decade.
My works, while away,
developed a resemblance to
maps conveying the route to be
taken – travelling and
eventually, home to New
Zealand.
Australia, Singapore, and New
Zealand presented disparities
between city and country,
large and small, and in
relative sizes and distances.
These factors relate in my
mind to mapping. I found my
work developed lines large and
small throughout each piece.
When I analized the pieces it
seemed to me to be development
of the "route home". My work
expresses the feeling of being
always on the move and never
in one place for long. There
is also the notion of never
quite knowing where I will be
at any one time in the future.
A map is a two dimensional
representation of the three
dimensional earth, plus the
fourth dimension of time. My
artwork,is a simulacrum of
this ideal. They are built up
with translucent layers
conveying a peaceful plateau
broken only by mysterious
landforms. They are
expressions from an aerial
viewpoint (such as maps give
us), which has now given way,
as I settled into ...
