ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This drawing is one of four. These can be sold together as a Quadriptych or through consultation as individual pieces. The other pieces are named: 'Questioning' , 'The Key',and 'The Wake'. My drawings always flow from an unconscious space. I allow the impromptu moment to captivate my interest and as forms enter figurative spaces, images evolve on the paper through a constant working, rubbing and reworking of pencil, pastel and charcoal, something takes place which then becomes a surreal discourse. The source of my work often evolves from a response to an environment, place or experience. I endeavor to capture something which is fundamental to the human condition and the processes incurred through the journey of life which appear as expressionistic divergences. Through a manipulation of light, and form, I use opposites to shape contrasting edges. I prefer to use earth tones and a reduced palate to provoke a sharp contrast. I link these forms through hapless boundaries where connections arise and unfold in a rhythmic dreamlike resonance. The process of unfolding becomes a shaping of light and dark; as a movement through metaphor and time.

My art is a personal and intuitive exploration of the human condition, capturing the raw and unfiltered essence of existence. I am drawn to the struggles and resilience of the human spirit, seeking to give a voice to the voiceless and to evoke empathy and understanding. My work is a testament to the profound drama of life. I delve into the realms of imagination and reality, often blending the whimsical with the profound. My pieces are narratives blending the figurative with the fantastical aiming to reveal the complex layers of human experience and inviting viewers to step into a world where the mundane transforms into the mystical. This journey is both a dialogue with the subconscious, where spontaneity and discovery play crucial roles. I aim to confront aspects of our existence which are both harsh and fragile, using bold contrasts and dramatic tension to evoke a visceral response. My figures and forms are not mere representations but embodiments of the primal forces that shape our lives. Through colour, texture and form, I endeavour to capture all spectrums of emotion from joy to despair. My art is an invitation to slow down and reflect the fundamental questions of being. I create tableaus that evoke a sense of wonder and introspection where time memory and perception intertwine. It has been said my art captures 'ancient realms of being'. As I scribble these huge doodles, where forms emerge, I explore themes in life encapsulating birth, death and rebirth to symbolise transformation and the cycles of existence. I am fascinated by the interplay of light and dark which I use to heighten the emotional impact of the composition. I like to feel my art is a confrontation with the raw truths of our world, revealing a divine presence within the mundane and the extraordinary within the ordinary. I aim to connect with the viewer on a deep emotional level. There is an honesty in my work and much of it is drawn from a raw unfiltered expression of my own life and my 30 year career as a social worker. I aim to confront the complexities of love, loss and identity. My visual style is rooted in figurative realism but with a surreal, dreamlike quality. The figures are depicted with poses that convey complex emotional and psychological states. I embrace vulnerability and imperfection and my aim is to is to create a space for empathy to inspire others to embrace their own stories with a raw authenticity.
