'Making Waves'
“When I work, I am thinking of many different things at once – the search for many meanings in this one piece, images of the potential work which shifts and changes until it is physically pinned down, and the process of making or painting itself – a bit like mental collage. I like to vary scale and media, to be ‘porous’ to the experience of living, to engage with others and to avoid being pinned down by habit. It is with this attitude also that I curate exhibitions which bring me into ongoing creative dialogue with other artists and viewers.
Each piece I make whether 2D or 3D is about a journey I have made whether external or internal and helps me to order my thoughts aesthetically and to remember why the feeling which inspired the work was important to me in the first place.
The interactive artworks I do are very important to my practise enabling me to work with people of all ages and all backgrounds and to develop collaborations and artistic conversations.
I look back over years of previous work and I can read my own history, the path of my own life, through what I have made”.
