‘The Beginning’ evolved from my need to create a piece that contained a centred balance. It had parameters that held me to account and lines that guided me. Previous to ‘The Beginning’, my approach was wildly, intuitively expressed and boundaries of creation were more broader of field. Psychologically, this approach can be very demanding; especially after creating ‘Ocean’. Meditatively carved, I felt peaceful. It felt like a beginning. A new approach to sculpting and gave me a better sense of well-being.
