The materials used in my larger works are mixed media including resin, graphite and acrylic applied in multiple and fine layers. The works are an exploration of everyday life, reality and observations. The sources of the written texts are my own poetry and writings that I have collected in journals over a period of time. The works are a record of the passages of time and do not reflect any one single moment or narrative event. Rather they reflect our continuous and changing relationship with the ordinary world around us. The viewer is encouraged to participate in this dialogue by looking at the works over a period of time during which she/he reflects and discovers the layers that make up these images. We are not separate from the world. In all our actions we make our mark – sometimes these marks are hidden, healed, scarred, protected, covered – they are all reminders that everything remains and has lasting consequence and relevance. The works explore aspects of layered memory and weathered ‘'landscapes’' and people (both actual and metaphorical). The surface quality of the medium tends to “'hide”' often-overlooked details and essentials that form part of the very fabric of our experienced realities. The works also ponder the idea that change and adaptation are intangible a paragraph. are.
