Within my practice, I use painting, mixed media, installation and video to evoke meditations on human dignity, influence, existence and the wavelength of life. My practice is concerned with making as a form of cathartic and positive life experience. For example, within my work life energies are seen to be held in ‘inanimate’ objects such as rocks. I am interested in how rocks may represent something worn by life and how a stone shows beautiful wavelengths when it has been dropped in water. I also use traditional Asian lacquerware, exploring the distinctive display of light and depth that can be evoked through this material.
All my work is inspired by meditation. I can receive inspiration when I meditate on one person or on a certain phenomenon. I am interested in the unseen, the inner ‘influence’ that each person has and the value of that influence on the exterior world. I find inspiration primarily through the people around me, objects, and nature. My work is quiet and meditative and I feel that in a fast-paced world there is a place for a slower form of practice which connects people and inanimate things.
