Artist Statement:
Pushing
the boundary of painting through its three dimensionality, my relief work
lunges into the viewer’s physical space.
Collecting
debris from the British coastline, the viewer is forced to see, what had
been, disregarded waste. The battered, broken, bruised even burnt objects
that I find show the external conditions that have taken effect on them.
These include the weather, sea rocks and people. The possible journey
to their resting place on the shore line fascinates me. I construct ambiguous
forms by inventively collaborating familiar objects.
No glue
is ever used. Instead objects are physically manipulated together, resting
against one another and holding each other up. The objects seem to adopt
their own direction and magnetism toward each other, this continues until
an ambiguous form is complete. All completed art forms are stable, hard
wearing and durable for all situations and climates.
Dramatically
hung away from the flat wall they look very precarious. The viewer is
tempted to reach out and catch the objects in anticipation of them falling.
I enjoy the fact that viewer’s can familiarize themselves with the
objects I use. The viewer can therefore interact with the work on a variety
of levels.
I am able
to work free-lance or otherwise. I am especially interested in commission
based work both on wall based relief, painting and free standing sculpture.
In addition to this I organize and lead workshops for adults and children
based on some of my studio techniques. I cater for a wide range of clientele
adapting for age, ability etc. Please contact me for further information.
