Statement

In the perfect here and the complete now, I respond to life, to living, in search for a balance.  I create through core interests rooted in perception; I am prone to abstraction, embroiled in spontaneous experimentation in a simple process. I trust one 'mark' to lead to another, drawing out the unknown from deep within my soul, gambling on each mark, gesture or stroke to reveal its authenticity. Keeping the work wide open, I step into the abyss of coded language, symbols and senses that bubble up from inward feelings, thoughts, and outward happenings: the results are wonderfully surprising. Through colour, form and the love of 'line': the invisible is transmuted to the visible, varied interests surface in varied ways through varied disciplines, some traditional, most not. 'Making' is my life's necessity, it began with a love of drawing, which remains the thread that binds my practice. Stepping past the divide to explore rhythms and nature's frequencies creates resonances from my experiences in this wonderfully bizarre entanglement of a life fuelled by curiosity.
