“I am fascinated by the nature of time and how it governs our lives and the universe we live in. In the natural world, the passage of time is predominantly characterised by the existence of cycles and repetition where one phase or stage of a living, dynamic entity metamorphoses into another. I create series of works exploring the infinitely repetitious nature of time and the universal elements embodying this man-made construct. For example, I have an ongoing fascination with lunar phases and the powerful effects of the moon on human life.

 

Mutation, morphology, light, impermanence and incessant change are at the crux of much of my work. As human knowledge shifts, so does the material world, with matter constantly engaged in a process of change on every scale: growth, evolution and entropy.

 

Much of my sculptural work focuses on undulating forms of waves, rhythms, dark/ light relationships and the polarities of presence and absence. Whereas the most recent suite paintings show a dream- world layering of shapes and forms expressing the movement of brilliant, illuminated lights or 'star clusters’.

 

In valuing artistic freedom, I do not seek to follow a singular discipline or use a limited set of materials but see the world 'as my oyster' to choose whatever materials and methods best serve in expressing my ideas.”
