Artist Statement

"Art doesn't work by being analysed, it works by enchantment. In the absence of narrative, a meditative quality emerges from the work, offering visual experiences that can be both nourishing and contemplative. I don't set out wanting to do anything at all, I follow the work. The resulting forms have one purpose––to take us to another place––all other considerations are secondary. The work continually evolves, it knows far more than I do; I am simply the means by which it gains purchase in the world."
