ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This work comes from my fascination with old images of meteors and shooting stars, in which artists have accentuated the human wonder and sense of mystery at such events. I like the idea that such otherworldly phenomena were seen as omens or portents of significant earthly events - a profound recognition that we are at the mercy of the universe and chance events. Although we now know the rational, mechanistic cause of these beautiful sights, it does not detract from the sense of wonder, awe and strangeness that we feel when we witness them. I wanted to portray this sense in this exaggerated image - retaining some of the mystery - verging on mysticism and profound connectedness - that shooting stars instil in us.

"Although I state that much of my work stems from the imagery thrown up by depression, I would say that it is also the imagery of unconscious connection.Indeed the two are irrevocably entwined. It is no accident that the appearance of animal symbols and the use of bodily products such as hair, urine and blood is also influenced by my former work as a veterinary surgeon. Some time spent in psychoanalysis has helped me to illuminate these connections to find a personal mythology, which I believe connects to a universal meaning of what it is to be human. The `otherness` of animals, their power, vulnerability, unselfconsciousness and instinctual drives, and their relationship with us, are potent symbols of qualities we also have - qualities which we struggle with in our attempts to remain in control of ourselves and our society. It is where these tensions meet that my work is situated." Studio: Sculpture Shed, Spike Island, 133, Cumberland Road, Bristol, BS1 6UX. Tel: (0117) 929 2266; Email:
