My work is based on abstract concepts. It is about taking the unreal and transforming it into something tangible. By combining traditional and contemporary materials I strive to form a unity between past, present and that which is abstract.

My current work poses the question ‘What is Time’ does it really exist or is it simply an abstract concept?

Inspired by both the instruments used to measure time and the language commonly used to describe ‘time’ my work for 2009 begins with some of the familiar elements from clocks. By depicting such elements, which would normally be moving parts, as static structures my exhibit suggests that ‘time’ stands still and maybe it is us who move through time.  To create these contemporary structures I have used traditional techniques and fabrics with metal to bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary.

Continuing this theme my work for 2010 will interpret time in the more abstract paradigm of the IV dimension, where waves of possibilities exist.

Mixing contemporary and traditional materials I continue my style portraying the interconnectedness that now exists between the living and the inert - the human and the manufactured. With this unusual alliance, created by such diverse materials, I invite the viewer to look beyond the usual associations and seek out the concept of my work on a more symbolic level. It is the unique interpretation and mixing of materials which most excites me and is always an intrinsic part of what I am trying to express. As with all my work colour, texture and symbolism are fundamental to the meaning of my work.
