Erosion (created 2006)
This piece represents the constant load placed on the landscape
by the earths environment: moving, shifting, wind, rain, cold and heat,
slowly wearing the rocks to sand.
There are also the much shorter term attacks made by man attacking the environment
for his own ends: mining, quarying, carving out. These two very different
sorts of load, change immesurably what we consider to be permanent and constant.
but only when we stand back do we see the results.

Splitting headache - broken dream (created 2005)
The head is riven by the experiences one accumulates during the day
expressed mimetically from the elations and torments of the daily grind.
While the head rests and we sleep the mind is fertile, it creates, invents
and explores without conscious restrictions.
The mind is a landscape of infinite thought; that which is desired or
is not achieved; or that, which appears resolved but still has grey areas
where hope and alternatives dwell, and the hands reach out to grasp these fleeting thoughts.
This work is not providing a direct answer to any questions, but hopefully
it touches the imagination, and leads to the exploration of the viewer's
own internal and unexplored landscape.
