Artist's Statement
My initial fascination with time
and space provides a vehicle for combining the varied character traits
in my work reflecting my personality, my past experiences and fond
memories. Dots, lines and tones are vigorously scratched into the metal
plate to construct images from the conscious and the sub-conscious. The
pleasure of mark-making with visceral strength and energy leaves me with
abstractions, narrating long stories with only a stroke, and at the same
time a small word illustrated with thousands of lines through the
technique of dry point.My
latter work, executed in lithographs and line etchings, carry the same
energy but are distilled into more symbolic motifs. These symbols are
the expression of recurring memories of being away from home and loved
ones. |
