My art has taken on many forms over the course of my career but I have long been strongly influenced by the movements of CoBrA, Fluxus, and Abstract Expressionism, and the balance between chaos and control that they explore. One of my biggest drivers is to play with and explore the power of seemingly chaotic micro-worlds, and how, together, they build a seemingly coherent macro-reality – as in the way individual notes and pauses come together to form a melodic song.
The natural world is an enormous influence on my artwork both visually and philosophically. I am drawn to the concepts of impermanence in life and entropy and want to help others to explore their own relationship and acceptance of those ideas. I have a strong fascination in exploring the connection between mind and body and the power in spontaneity and free mark-marking and, with my work, try to connect those ideas of purposeful chaos with the delicate and intricate structures that are needed for that freedom to stay in balance.
One of my most recent drives has been to try to understand how to move my creative output away from being solely focused on the single gaze of a single human consumer. What fascinates me more is understanding an ecosystemic approach to creativity – how the work affects those that see/use it, how that affectation influences those around that individual and how the environment around all of those actors, and the work itself, is changed, contributed to or diminished by what we do.
