Penwith Landscape
Hessian, ink, acrylic, bitumen and shellac on wood
My work is about the mapping of an inner landscape - giving shape to the hidden geography in which my spirituality and artistic practice have their roots.

A key element of my work is a kind of purposeful playing with raw materials - in much the same open-ended way children play in order to learn about themselves and their place in the world. Play involves exploration, experiment, risk-taking and discovery. The ideas thus generated are explored more deeply as they are given tangible, visual form, an activity which can, as the sculptor Louise Nevelson has said, involve a “...painful search within”.
