Some of my recent work has been triggered by observations made from the Natural World and of how similar patterns and shapes recur throughout, from basic cellular forms to plant shapes to far vaster landscapes.
These works also explore and reflect the fleetingness of our memories, and the wealth of individual experience which inform our responses to any given moment.
These ideas are relevant to how we respond to all of Nature, and to life's transcience, and referring to the continual ebb and flow between the conscious and unconscious in our every day lives.
