My work explores the relationship between nature, spirituality and identity through the interrogation of personal and collective histories. I am interested in the ways in which the human experience mirrors the processes of nature and vice versa. Seasons, cycles, birth, death, growth, decline, resilience, change, resistance, expansion - all of these phenomena are markers of the human experience and we also see them, in one way or another, affect plants, animals, the elements and the cosmos. I draw visual inspiration from ancient rock art and cave paintings; African, Eastern and Western mythology, as well as language, metaphor, ritual and family. My process is driven by personal interpretations and explorations around African and Eastern healing modalities as well as eclectic philosophical and religious systems.
