Body // Form // Finish

There are two distinct sides to my work. Firstly the humorous and light-hearted pieces that make people smile - Black Bear and Rabbits.These allow me to experiment with tools and techniques such as stabbing, incising and impressing. Giving me the freedom to experiment and play without the need to apply depth of thought. Secondly the serious side which is a reflection or has a connection to my healthcare background. A great deal of thought and research supports the creative process that result in the pieces Cicatrix and Boobs, Belly and Butt. Both my need to care and my need to create are inseparably welded together. These two sides share my fundamental aim as an artist to master the “form and finish”
