Descent of Man

I am exploring drawing in its broadest sense, creating sculptural drawing installations, using Salvaged, Recycled materials, and found objects such as Plastics, Paper, Fabric, Iron, and wood.

Descent of Man 2016- 2017, was created using recycled newspaper broadsheets specific to the year 2017 when our news papers were full of disquiet and division. 

  Installations depend on location, space and environment and are created or re-invented according to that space. Both a reaction to or a statement of, my installations and sculptural drawings engage via dialogue and conversation on very current global and societal issues. Relationship, Conversation, Connection, Community, Placement, Humanity, and current global issues are my focused interest.

They are subtle and challenging, a contrast between the fragility and strength. They have been referred to as both monumental and fragile at the same time.

My Creative practice looks to what it is to be human, the fragility, the strength and is demonstrated in the materials I use. It brings attention to subjects we perhaps should not forget while the spotlight shines elsewhere. However, salvaged or found though, the aesthetics, the craft that is art is vital to me , allowing me to continually move my practice forward.
