Artist Statement
We live in a stream of continuing creation making art is a way of enquiring into the world in front of us. Image-making helps us to examine what it is like to be in this place, in this condition, at this time. Art allows us to explore a vision of a reality beyond the world of appearance. I’m drawn to exploring the area between conscious and unconscious, the borderland state of being between dream and waking. Described by C.G. Jung as the collective unconscious It is a place where images predominate and myth and legend reign.
