Artist’s Statement
One of the themes of my work is abstract experience of nature and place, and how this can be portrayed in an interpretative visual form. As my medium I frequently use performance, watercolours ink drawings and installations. By combining these elements, a watercolour or ink drawing can be reconstituted as a performance in which the brush and the body that guides it dance and play in an extended installation. The moment brought out by suspense and other emotions emphasises ideas and images rather than aspiring towards scientific or realistic truth. The sketchy but indelible imprint refers not to some sort of grandeur, but to an ongoing series of events in life and work.
