Sculptures, Paintings and Drawings
I am an instinctive and experimental artist. Study of the natural world underpins all my work.
I distil unconscious thought, blending dreams with substance. Working the seam where magic collides with the visible world, I explore the intensity and fragility of experience. This is the space where corporeality and spirit merge into something unknown but remembered. I work in the borderland between conscious and unconscious, between human and the other inhabitants of this world.
