Statement
This work explores the psychological terrain of landscape, as a lived and felt experience, an in-between space, ambiguous, sublime and mysterious. This manifests itself in the work as obscured layers, blurred edges and drifts of floating orbs, creating a dream like space.
It is in the relationship between the physical process of making art and the materials and techniques I use, that I encounter the deeper currents of the work. I want my work to make a difference, as a whisper to the unconscious of possibilities otherwise unnoticed.
