I am an artist
currently based in Lewes east Sussex and I am and recently finished an MA in
fine art at Brighton University, My work, which is geometric forms arranged
to achieve harmony and balance between surface, colour, and form, My ideas are
centred on uniting abstraction with ancient mystical concepts which has
intrigued Modernist artists during the latter part of the 19th
century and early 20th.
I use traditional
printmaking techniques such as aquatint, monotype, etching and woodcut. My
recent work is in part derived from my interest in sacred geometry I am now in
the process of developing ideas while trying to grasp the complexity behind
such concepts and its relationship to modern Physics such as chaos theory and
turbulence.
I am intrigued at how
ancient civilisations looked at life and
reality and by incredibly complex geometric concepts they developed
theories for all forms including man, linking these
concepts with universal phenomena they
devised a way of understanding the proportions of the geometrical figures
obtained in the classical manner by straightedge and compass, and of the
harmonic relations of the human being with one another; the structure of plants
and animals and natural objects, all of which are manifestations of the
universal continuum.
I am also interested
in how these concepts and theories resonate with modern thinking and how
through my personal understanding of both, modern and ancient, my work can
evolve to complement the theories, and including the work itself as part of the
process, how the characteristics of the inks influence the surface and become
part of the visual vivacity of the final image.
