"My work is about the body being seen as an expression of the mind.
I use the figure from every angle, to me the surface of the body is an expressive landscape.
The pose the figure takes is a mechanical structure, which is a three dimensional description of the emotional life within the mind of that figure. The limitations of the body are a common language. We all know how it feels to be in the pose when we see splayed fingers or an arched back.
We are connected below the surface by a common language that is wordless.
Our minds also work with colour and imagery.
To use this connection, I show the figure in a narrative situation and the composition is often constructed to give the viewer a role to play in the picture”
Works in Private Collections: Australia, France, Norway, Switzerland & USA
