Description

“This work is about a sense of place – places that exist in the form of a memory, and places of a more recent experience. It’s about the distance between how you relate to one’s current environment and the memory of the past. My early years in Wales with its hills and valleys, architectural structures built on steep terrain. A juggling act of clustered and stacked forms framing the boundaries of particular spaces. Or a recent visit to Berlin with its checkerboard history, Soviet monuments and their massive geometry. The work is about distances near and far, in the past or the present. It may appear on the surface as an abstraction inflected by certain constructive or architectural aspects, but in reality is a representation of place. The importance of the notion of place is significant for me in that it offers a reflective possibility, where one is coming from and its collective experience. It’s about mapping in which sensations, impressions, atmospheres, predictions are concretized into color, line, and form.”
