Artist Statement:
Many art and craft movements
have been influential in my
eclectic work
but the highly embellished and
ornate continue to be the most
significant.
Italian Baroque, Gothic
architecture, Art Nouveau,
Victorian china and
modernist painting are some of
the most influential. Plant
forms and the
human figure provide the
vocabulary to convey personal
and conceptual
concerns. To some extent, in
the process of rejecting
Victorian values,
a kind of cultural cringe has
developed about ornamentation.
However,using natural forms
while incorporating
embellishment enables
the work to celebrate both
nature and the transcendent
ability that people
have. Making use of busy,
intensely coloured and
flamboyant aspects of the
natural, my work veers from a
prevailing notion that holds
that muted
colours, quiet lines and
sparseness are somehow more
intellectually sophisticated.
Striking the right balance
between the natural and the
purely decorative is a
continual challenge.
Genealogy has provided the
most recent grist for the mill
in throwing up
issues about ancestral
influences, the melding of
disparate cultural
identities and the role of
genetics. A variety of plants,
patterns and
symbols are utilized to
represent different cultural
aspects. ...
