Artist Statement
My work is a response to intricacies found in nature; the environments and organisms not constructed by humans but found existing alongside us. Through painted and cut paper, it depicts a world often unseen by others. The insect and animal forms I use are those that move elusively around us, hidden by layers of overgrowth.
Now I capture their silhouettes removing all camouflage and exposing their elaborate forms. The resultant image is a tangled cluster, suspended, seeming to have materialized from the white space around it. The work creates a moment of pause, to act as a tool informing awareness of the delicateness, subtlety, and mystery constantly in flux around us.
The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or ideas. Please note that we support expression, whether it is controversial or not, but our intention is never to offend.
