 The changing images are all a part of the Journey, each one moving forward or crossing over notions in the development of my studio work.
​

Visual language, drawing, painting, installations, is my means to 'see' more, understand more. My way of thinking. Early works of people close to me, favourite places, memories, helping me to know who and where in the world I exist, looking out from inside. I remain site for my work, exploring my  existence today.

The term Posthuman, was liking a piece of a jigsaw, you know its part of the whole, but what is it and where is it from? It excited me and led to questioning identity; mine, yours, the condition of our now species.
​

​We exist today between The Human and The Posthuman.
​​We live in an ever evolving posthuman world.
​A world where the artist Stelarc has claimed that the body is obsolete. 
Where the roboticist Hans Moravec states that the senses have no future. 
Where the postmodern literary critic Katherine Hayles urges us to surrender
to our natural life span and death rather than seeking immortality. 
Each work is Unique and of Itself, ​based on my corporeal existence​. 
The process of my work is one that travels through spirals, looping back, off at tangents, as it evolves.
Current Work shows the current position of the Journey, always evolving. The projects are building blocks, the steps of
​The Journey.
