About The ART
Geometric Expressionism
I explore the heat of the gesture against the cold harness of geometry, here the polarities of humanity exist; questions are raised and answers rarely given.
• Movement - Stillness
The world is an increasingly complex place, so my practice using the simplicity of geometry is for me, the purest form expression. I’m most comfortable working in non-objective forms
• My work invites you to look - look and look again...
I use the line and plane in my exploration of life's complexities. What textures, patterns and balances of composition stimulate our emotion and thought, more importantly can this exploration be beautiful?
Push/Pull • Hot/Cold • Light/Heavy • Fast/Slow • Direct/Indirect • Duty/Freedom • To Be?/Not to Be?
I explore existential struggles which gather metaphorically between the coldness of the geometric shape and the heat of gestural expression. My aim is to be accessible and encourage pause and curiosity
