"Love the use of wood, as a block. The old wooden overcoat ready to be discarded as heavy,useless and worn.The radiant energy of the soul poised for take off to pastures green.
What a disappointment to be stuck yet again with the wooden body, but…"

- Artist statement/gallery statements/or comments
- Drawing on familiar imagery and symbolism from magic mysticism and the occult, my work explores incorporeal worlds, supernatural experiences and the human propensity to venerate and fetishise objects.
My work references New Age ideologies, superstition and theories of consciousness. I explore the manifestation of energy and frequency said to be present in ritual and mediumship.
I use made and found objects, both ordinary and extraordinary. Altered, they transcend their known materiality going beyond surface value. The works I create attempt to cast possible projections back onto the viewer.
I look for inspiration to empty spaces, dark corners, unseen forces, the moments around death and passage to the great beyond. I try to establish associations and reasons for belief systems and use my work to stimulate enquiry into why we draw comfort and guidance from ideas with no rational substance.
My work is a transformative process that forms connections between the visible and invisible, the physical and metaphysical, the known and the unknown.
