Statement and Biography
My work has become a journey through the senses and how I feel about the way we perceive in things. I use opposites to shape contrasting edges and link them through hapless boundaries where connections arise and unfold in a rhythmic resonance. The process of unfolding becomes an endless shaping of sound, light and metaphor
I explore the place of opposites. Light exists to illuminate the darkness then there is shadow. something seen or not seen, in that space, on that edge, we are reminded that change always happens.
