I am interested in shapes, planes, layers and the places where these intersect. The narrative and the emotions of an image absorb me; equally the continuum and the interruption. The subjects I present are situated in an atmosphere and featured like a portrait. I abstract my subject into dimensional shapes, waves and transparent sweeps. I take turns and twists on these symbols developing their mythical character. Each symbol becomes a portrait, an emotional narrative. My objects do not have to stand or support. They can float and fly and disappear and reveal and take us where physics cannot.
