The earth and all things in nature, such as trees and flowers, inspire me, providing ideas for my creativity. There is a beauty in nature which is often not acknowledged in day to day life, yet it has always existed. The natural world influences the object of my artworks. With the passage of time, each natural object begins to form its own shape; flowers have their own beauty and trees bear fruits. There is an inherent beauty in their form which arises without any specific effort to be so. They don’t attempt to be beautiful. Nature thus leads me to look at honest beauty which already exists and makes me draw without a desire to be more skillful. My project is about chance. The images I make are formed by a process that engages the accidental. I use the spillage of ink on sheets of acetate, allowing the ink to run freely. The ink produces its own beautiful scenery. The resulting illusion depends upon temperature, saturation, movement and other variables. In a second stage, I use digital photographic processes to extend the imagery by scanning and an erratic manipulation with computer software (Photoshop™). In this process I continue to use the interventions of chance. Aspects of my process have been engaged by abstract expressionists such as Jackson Pollock and Dada artists and surrealists. In the form of an installation, I attach a partially translucent image on a window to lead audiences to look at the images with landscape. The work then becomes part of nature and inspires the audience. The use of contemporary materials, digital processes and the use of installation gives this form new potential. To define simply my identity and methodology - I attempt not to attempt.
