Statement
The innate need to create drives the plasticity in my practice and allows me to roam between the disciplines of drawing, painting and sculpture in some sort of poetic collision.
Through the methods of experimentation and unexpected use of combination of materials, acceptance of chance reactions, the creative process and discipline is altered and manifested. The process informs the finished work. The working, assembling, recycling and modifying of materials amplifies their spirit essence; as in the ancient alchemical practice, which transforms lead into gold.
My latest works are a reflection on my connection with culture, self, society and the natural environment; observer and observed, perceptions of nature and man.
Art is often described as a mirror to the culture in which it is produced. My intention for my work is to mirror the reciprocal beauty and chaos / creation and destruction of nature and human spirit.
