Texture in Time
continues to explore the fascination I have with the
natural world. A mix of special plants, organic textures
and abstract repettative patterns. All of which I am
attracted to and try to represent from the inside out.
After a housefire in 2004 I felt inspired to focus
on the simple things in life we so often take for granted.This
series started with a single leaf and became the image
Leaflame resembling a candleflame. |

The human
body contains a miniature universe, a macrocosm. These
patterns or building blocks of life are clues to our
origins and structure. Naturesface
reflects this universe embedded in the human body.
This collection of artwork acknowledges the extraordinary
in the ordinary. |
| By overlapping
forms and using transparency multiple layers are created
which represent different levels of understanding and
perception.These layers are all compressed into the one
harmonic composition of the present. I try to capture
continuous movement and a passing of time. |
| This collection
is strongly influenced by the Buddhist/Taoist philosophy:
nature and humanity are one. Other artists who have been
an influence in my work include the German biologist
and philosopher Ernsst Heindrich Haeckel, Chris Drury,
Karl Blossfeldt, Paul Klee, and Andy Goldsworthy. |
