By painting driftwood I try to animate the wood by evoking
the presence of beings. In some cases, these are analogues of familiar
animals, both real and mythical; in others, fragments of landscape may
appear. To me the journey of the wood from earth to water to earth again
in a transformed state is not unlike that of our consciousness as we realize
the interdependence of each creature in nature. The finished pieces reveal
themselves slowly, in layers of understanding. Together they form a multi-part
entity yet separately each stands alone. |
