Through my art, I want to explore the profound joy and beauty in the visual experience. Engaging with the immediacy and liveliness of visual components before we evaluate and judge the meaning and content. I like to think that it is a signpost of the profound nature of our world.
Our minds seek to label and categorise the things that we see so that we can process them. In doing so we lose the immediacy of what is in front of us, contrasts in light and shade, energy, colours and their vibrancy. The structure of the image as it moves past us in time and space, lines of energy and movement, vibrations and changes.
