'...blossoms come and go...'
The Visual Artworks I make offer the viewer an invitation to participate in the process of creativity, not by making anything concrete in the conventional artistic sense, but by perceiving how their experience is both shaped and shapes what appears as external to it; that the mind and its mental produce, is like other phenomena, the morphing consequence of interactivity and causality.
The underlying sensibility determining my endeavour, is one characterized by an awareness of objects and materials - be they natural or manufactured – that suggest life as process, as phenomena always forming, changing; and here I include the making of art, meaning and history. Significantly, this implies that everything is interdependent, causal and subject to change; and herein lies the point of my artistic expression. Without being explicit or prescriptive, the work is intended to present viewers with an opportunity for investigative, creative engagement. Just as the artworks evolved in the process of making, each step informing the next, so it is hoped that the viewer will develop an understanding of what is at play in the forming of human experience. By scrutinizing the various components, their composition and qualities arising from contrast, some sense of our own shape-shifting condition should emerge. If there is any conclusive end in sight, it is perhaps the recognition of this.
