About the Work:
My works fall into the tradition of abstract non-linear visual narratives that challenge the viewer to find poetry in gestural motion. Chance and collage figure prominently in the creation of my works. Image making is in question with the advent of ArtificIal Intelligence technology. It poses the question: what is reality? Abstract imagery is often difficult to explain. How do we define abstraction? The imagery in my work slides from the recognizable to pure form, colour and pattern. My interest in nature, gardens and organic forms is transformed through an exploratory process to arrive at these mixed-media works, using collage, mono-printing and painting techniques.
