Stone Woman. I like the idea that all things are made of simple building blocks. The atoms that make up stone or rocks are, in fact, the same ones that make up living things. Study for singularity. This piece was inspired by my visits to the arctic where I have witnessed first hand the melting of the ice and listened to the deep concerns of the Arctic people as they watch as their culture and environment disappear with Global Warming. It is a beautiful place and I have tried to convey the beauty of the female form, melting like a stranded iceberg.
Seed.I tried to create an image that suggested a pregnant woman whilst
using a stone to represent the baby. Stone is a dead material and to
me suggests stillbirth and the threat to future generations.
Elm Seed. This piece is one of a series that explores our close links
with nature. Society has become very disconnected with the natural
world and seems no longer to appreciate the importance of the very
things that humanity depends on for it's survival.

Fossil. (no image available) This piece is designed to suggest an
exhibit in a museum, perhaps some time in the future, once again
hinting at the finite nature of our species.

I firmly believe that creating art can assist in problem solving, communication, expression and externalisation of internal issues and conflicts. It can also provide a powerful and necessary release. For me, art making is about transforming emotions and experiences into creative energy, which is a cathartic and healing experience in itself. Just the act of being deeply engaged in the work brings a sense of soothing and a release of tensions and frustrations.
