Artist Statement:
My work is about the body
being seen as an expression of
the mind.
I use the figure from
every angle, to me the surface
of the body is an expressive
landscape.
The pose the figure takes is a
mechanical structure, which is
a three dimensional
description of the emotional
life within the mind of that
figure. The limitations of the
body are a common language. We
all know how it feels to be in
the pose when we see splayed
fingers or an arched back.
We are connected below the
surface by a common language
that is wordless.
Our minds also work with
colour and imagery.
To use this connection, I show
the figure in a narrative
situation and the composition
is often constructed to give
the viewer a role to play in
the picture:
I intend that at a
subconscious level, my
naturalistic representation of
a familiar world, will give
the viewer a sense that the
picture is about him, as he
recognises that he has seen
this reality before.
A narrative usually forms in
the mind of the viewer without
any comment from me, except
for the title.
Presented as a statue,
the body is a monument ...
