PRACTICE
Experimentation with interrelating different materials, techniques and disciplines references all my work. Images are perpetuated in series which evolve until the idea is exhausted. This entails variations of structure, colour handling, scale – a general thrusting into new perceptions of the conceptual and emotional. Sources are often routed in Africa, but also in ancient and ethnic artefacts experienced in travel.

The newest work depends on digital and photographic imagery , without neglecting the earlier processes of painting, printmaking, collage, and sculpture. The photos set out to capture the intrinsic essence of textures created by natural forces. The images are subsequently transformed into abstract shapes and details

Creating my own photographic prints excites a certain randomness and freedom to the work. Fragmentation of the prints also alters the way we look , see and know elements that are usually recognizable. Experimentation has always been at the heart of my work, and photography, as an art form, has been excitingly opening up new areas of imaginative possibilities.

My work has ultimately been a journey, literally, to many amazing destinations – a journey looking where my feet Land – a journey in my mind. A journey of wonder and imagination, providing a rich inner and outer life – as complete as it gets.
