ARTIST'S
STATEMENT
Human
emotions, life scenarios, expectations, disappointments, and paths
taken are aspects being explored through the human experience. The
objective is for the spectator to be able to create a personal link
with a painting and see themselves as potential characters within
the environment presented.
Viewers are open to their own individual interpretations. Perhaps
they could see themselves or someone else in the same place. The
sense of space and place is a focus. However, the meaning and intent
is open to individual perception.
ON
SCULPTING WOOD
Wood
is an intriguing medium. It can nurture simplicity or complexity
in form. For me this comes in aspects of the human context. I love
to explore the possibilities on offer from the intricacies of the
wood.
