Numerous works are preoccupations with deep concerns of human experience...fear and hope; arrival and departure. The pursuit of these concerns has appeared across time, and reappears in the course of creating and recreating within visual media processes.
I actively seek opportunities to develop as a human being through experiences which evoke deep emotional and aesthetic responses. The works are immediate sojourns around and into the immediacy of psychological preoccupations. There are searching aspects to the images... spontaneous, animated and expressive; figurative giving way to abstract inventions; symbolic signs are part of the course of the work being forcefully exposed.
The following words emanate from the sequence of images...words to encourage the audience to search for relationships / to be hesitant / to be spontaneous in constructing meanings / to be free and mobile / to explore various possibilities and reflect upon inner vibrations...
Keeping watch
Forlorn
Sound of morning
Stand sentinel
Depart from the place
Watchful bird
Giants standing
Great silence within
Falling light
Where dwells the soul
Broken
Wars of life
Pass freely in
Forms terrible
Severed friend
Standing alone
Solitary
Who suffers
The mind creates
Cutting heads
Subdued
Disjointed
