Artists' Statement
"Much inspiration is drawn from the wild and untamed land and seascapes of Australia.
Through meditation and daily exploration of nature, awareness expands itself so that I am
free to be a creative vessel.
The human physique translates so perfectly into stone, luscious curves and silky textures
beckon to be touched.
Sensuality no longer shrouded in shame, can now be expressed and celebrated within both
male and female forms. It could be said that communicating through art is the crossing of
boundaries, perhaps even beyond intellectualising a door way to transform the participant
and observer into expanded states, a mutual sharing." |
