My work is first and foremost concerned with materials, their properties and how they are perceived. Through materials we are made aware of the universal energy, or whole, of which all substances and all living organisms, including myself, are a part. I explore that energy through the materials, how they are transformed, their flux, and how they may dematerialise. Unexpected conjunctions of materials are used to create shifts in the consciousness of the viewer. As I respond to the properties of the materials, I find changes occurring not only in the materials but also within myself.
