Artist Statement:
I often refer to my work as
Modern Alchemy.
Just as the alchemists of long
ago attempted to create
something precious from the
base metals, my work attempts
to conjure something uniquely
beautiful by combining basic
images and icons. While the
alchemists of old bordered on
the mystic, Modern Alchemy
uses powerful archetypal
images that awaken the
viewer’s genetic memories and
evoke a deep sense of primal
spirituality. The use of found
objects plays right into the
hand of Modern Alchemy. Beach
rock, rust, bones, and broken
pieces of pottery all are
featured prominently.
My latest work uses these
themes however I have begun to
add a new dimension. By using
images printed on acetate, as
well as extensive use of
mirrors, the works now
incorporate their surroundings
as a part of the piece.
Hanging these works in a
window or on a coloured wall
will give the piece a whole
new feel.
The messages are simple and
yet flexible. Art is in the
eye of the beholder. Behold.
Think. Feel…
