Off-piste

Artist statement

There is a huge difference between following the path that has been carved out by those before you, and choosing a track that is uniquely yours. Going Off-piste alone in the snowy mountains I am always reminded of this metaphor for living. When we create our own path, the experience is far richer. The views from the top become etched as a permanent reminder that we are in complete control. The air smells more open. The stacks fall harder (but you're the only one who gets to witness them). The adventure to the bottom is one that will likely never be experienced again, so you make the most of every second. The goal is not from point A to point B, but rather to remain present throughout. Imagine if we all lived a life "Off-piste".
