Artist’s statement
My work is a representation of the forces of nature and the human condition.I am challenged by these universal dynamics and strive to achieve harmony in a world full of opposing forces; inner and outer, private and universal.
The repeated process of adding layers, building and scraping allows me to explore patterns and formations, to create texture and rhythms which evolve into time sequences.
