Exploring light and space in movement, within natural phenomena
and the patterns that result is a predominant theme in my work. Much
of my work examines the elemental and intermediate forms matter
takes: gaseous, solid, liquid and plasma.
In some ways I am a treasure hunter, searching for that perfect
moment of order that can occur in the midst of chaos.
I am drawn to the meditative state this can stimulate, leaving the mind
behind and entering into presence.
At times my subject is epic, other times I find my trove in subtler
happenings.
Although at times I am drawn to the dramatic, I’ve learned that great
drama is taking place all the time in nature, even in the subtlest of
happenings.
