Artist
Statement
My
art is largely an exploration of my place in the landscape. My approach to
making art is intuitive and I enjoy the process and the discovery of new
ways to express my relationship with the inner environment or the
landscape.
I am interested in the impact we have had on the land and this is often a
theme of my work. I keeping
with this I constantly seek to recycle and re-using materials to create
new works.
Currently I prefer to work with paper, gouache, inks & collage as well
as making art from found objects such as rusty wire & tin. I collect
materials that others have discarded as rubbish and use this to make
assemblages or as a starting point for new work. My
work at times involves ecological rehabilitation and revegetation.
It is hard for me to pin-point artists who influence my work – as I am
inspired by art works that I see from day to day. This may be an oil
painting in a gallery or a hand-sewn garment. I am interested in the idea
of people making art and what drives people to create. I
am intrigued by art which is done by those who are untrained and
unconstrained by the rules & norms of the art world, who simply make
art as a response to their ‘inner landscape’.
