Sculptures

Although painting remains my primary medium, sculpture allows the symbolic forms within my work to move beyond the painted surface and occupy physical space. Many of these forms originate in my evolving library of biomorphic hieroglyphs, developed through dreams, ancient symbols and research into the visual language of the unconscious. 

The sculptures draw on creation stories, fairy tales, alchemical imagery and the idea of a collective unconscious. Some embody particular symbolic meanings, while others function as three-dimensional canvases, carrying painted, carved or inscribed motifs across their surfaces. As the viewer moves around them, forms and markings appear, disappear and enter into new relationships, allowing their meaning to remain fluid rather than fixed.

Working between painting and sculpture enables the same visual language to unfold through different materials and forms. Sculpture creates a more tangible encounter with symbols that might otherwise remain within the imagined spaces of a painting. These objects exist between recognition and mystery, inviting reflection on the relationship between inner experience, inherited imagery and the physical forms through which human beings have always attempted to express meaning.
