My mind has turned elemental, primal, natural.
Give me the derivatives, give me the origins.

My work is the visual dialogue of my search for the underlying fundamentals of this world: genetic threads; timeless patterns; cyclical rhythms. I am revealing internal details of our natural surroundings, our biological selves, while we survive in an externally proliferating and artifically intelligent society.

I am drawn to the use of layers, both pictorial and conceptual, where multiple images overlap and float among each other; where raw textures reiterate my need for grounding and natural elements. Land patterns, scientific and mathematical coincidences, cycles and earth rhythms: all these individual pieces of observation demand that I contemplate and ask questions about this world and my place in it.

The melding of several chosen images and/or data into one intuitive work, visually forms these questions. These pieces are an aesthetic journal of my attempt to find "the ultimate source", the genesis.

Whether it be sand mixed into paint, fibre embedded and growing from the support, or pigmented wood veneer, the textures add their own physical layers that root themselves into the other pictorial and conceptual layers. These present pieces are digested to a greater extent than my past work, and continue to become increasingly multi-dimensional. The piece titled "Rudimentary Existence" (Elemental Series, Pg.1) uses the patterns of root systems and dried, cracked earth. The Cuneiform scripture pulls from us an ancient, collective memory: the act of civilisations chiselling language into stone. "Nature's Number Landscape" (same series) is based on my studies and interpretation of Fibonacci number sequences. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21. This piece is an 'other-worldly' landscape; a microscopic view of Earth's mathematical order and her true intrinsic nature.
