ARTISTS STATEMENT

Having found my true vocation as an artist in middle years
I experience a sense of urgency to re-create
new ideas before they fade quickly into the past.


Movement and flight have been a consistent theme, from the story of Yeannoh, mythical dragons, and the experience of sailing in all the elements to flying flags from hilltops.

Flag installations are the most satisfying expression,  a peaceful and liberating development in my work.

  As 'flight' continues, with a progression into willow forms, nests, birds, lanterns and figures become familiar features.

 A combination of flags and sculptures have developed into performance, and latterly a dramatic inferno.

Creative workshops are environmentally sound and promote sustainability in schools, communities and festivals.

2011 has great promise as the flags seek the sky

and the willow craves construction!
