Artist’s Statement:
The thread of creativity. A delicate trace fluctuating between times of intensity and times where it is barely there. A fine but unpredictable balance of creative activity and life’s responsibilities. With determination, I arrive in this landscape somewhat exhausted. I examine the nearby rocks. I paint their portraits in no particular order immersing myself in their colour and textures, discovering their personalities, holding their weight, examining the moss that is attached to its form.
I stretched time to be here, soon my focus will have to switch back to family life. This work echoes a sonograph or environmental monitor reading, whose function is to protect my creative work.
