Painting and sculpture, like poems and music act as a conduit to memory. The process of
listening and engaging can lead to a changed state of being, trigger action or take you to
place of inaction, a place of silence and solitude.
This body of work explores the inner workings of two opposing ways of being. One is
outgoing, takes challenges, talks a lot and enjoys big gestural colourful paint strokes . The
other enjoys time alone, quiet, calm, soft colours in controlled shapes and marks. These
works explore the relationship between these dualistic forces. Bold gestural marks break
free of controlled shapes and blocks of colour. A sense of rest and unrest is present in each
piece. A new energy emerges from the painted canvas and sculpted forms as these forces
meld and learn to rest beside each other.
These works are a piece of me. There is an invitation here for you to use these works to
access and explore your own state of being.
