| About the Artist |
The work addresses that which is at the core of human experience. Rather than speaking of specific social issues, it explores the idea that there are universal experiences, needs, and desires that have existed throughout the history of human beings, and therefore bind us together – something we share that stands outside of time, culture and place.
It is an investigation of our continual struggle to integrate the dual worlds in which we exist: the external world which is the sum of our sensory experiences, and the inner world of our mind and emotions, and our physical and visceral existence. It looks at the interdependence of contrasting and often contradictory realities or viewpoints; the idea that in order to truly appreciate beauty and light, one must allow for the necessity of the dark truths that are as much a part of our lives as the innate pull towards hope. Order and chaos, the cerebral and the instinctive, sacred and profane – each requires the other.
This is a space where there is the opportunity to begin to accept chance and accident. A place where one can surrender, if only for a moment, to loss of control and the freedom that this can bring, and where the boundaries of place and time are not relevant.
