Artist statement
My artistic approach is an organic one, with an increasingly autobiographical note. Stories of strange happenings, of ghosts and uncanny creatures fascinated me as a child and these influences remain, weaving their way indirectly into my work. There is a search for the quiet places, for mystery and wonder, for the combination of the concrete world and that of the imagination, for reflection on the interplay of self and the external world.
Open-ended journeys describe my process: the initial idea will come through interactions with the natural world, through something I've read, or experiences I've had, and then the materials and processes will suggest themselves, often with overlapping techniques. The act of making will lead to its own destination, sometimes keeping close to the original idea, sometimes veering far from the path and making for surprising discoveries.
