DEE-zel   (dē-zəl)
From Gaelic, meaning: ‘right-hand-wise, turned toward the right. An antiquated term for: ‘clockwise’.
Suffix ‘iul’: ‘direction, guidance, orientation, learning, knowledge, art’.

My current project is entwined by  inter-relationships of resilience, adaptation, mortality and memory.


Deasil

This collection is metaphor for renewal, fresh beginnings, shedding the ‘old’ and leaving it behind. A visual reflection on the quote: "If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes" - St. Clement of Alexandria.


Ecdysis

Peripheral:
'Outer'. Marginal.
Fringe.Away from centre.
Eleven images in a collection of vision as it relates to perception. 
Available only in 8" by 10". Hung at point of vision.
'Peripheral' looks at the ways collective and individual conditioning ‘colours’ the information we process. How ‘seeing’ a certain way influences mood. Beliefs.  Ways of Being. Interacting.
Using manipulated images/ my eyes as metaphor for viewing crosshairs in shared ‘sights’.
What we focus on, literally and symbolically: gazing at concepts, people, places and issues  that I, we, 'they' may be blinkered/blind or 'colour-blind' to. 
Things that inhabit the fringe.
The outer. That which relates to the 'other'.

Peripheral

A collection of four unique yet complementary pieces. 
Ideal for displaying together -placed adjunct, to reflect the striations of the silkworm condominium.

Morphing in the Condo

A series of 9 images focusing on:  'weathering' -
Tradition, nature, erosion, impact, effect and fragility.
Elements and their impact - on us and the external cathedrals we relate to, culturally, emotionally, spiritually.Tradition, nature, erosion, impact, effect and fragility.

150,000 year old sandstone - the weathered result of ancient sediment, lakes, volcanic eruptions - wind, heat, cold and bands of resistant quartz.
