Artist Statement
As human beings we are continuously weaving our way in and around the physical spaces we occupy. As we do this we are consciously engaged with the feel and texture of our external world - our outer landscape. What interests me however is the simultaneous navigation of a world less tangible than this physical realm…the inner landscape- the perceptual architecture of the mind, the emotional and the spiritual realms.
In my paintings I investigate the movement and feel of both inner and outer landscape and the dialogue between them. My chief artistic interest concerns the place where these two landscapes converge. A place where the realm of the mind, the spirit and the senses connects with the physical realm, (the world we live in) – in short, where the subconscious meets the conscious; where mind meets matter.
I am interested in metaphysical discoveries, debates on the possible existence of parallel universes and above all, the creative power of thought. I draw a great deal of inspiration from these themes as well as from my studies in Buddhist philosophy, and the notion of “awakening from the sleep of ignorance to see the true nature of things”.
