EXCITED ABOUT THE BALLET

A MOST WORTHWHILE VENTURE

My work is about looking, contemplation and recreating the fragmented sensations and memories of urban and metropolitan architectural spaces.

My work evolves from my personal experiences of places I visit. My intention is to convey sensations of moving through architectural spaces; from interior to exterior and from varying vantage points. The interplay between light and shadow that occurs at different times of day; the highlighting of shapes and patterns; the subtlety and drama of colour changes brought about by fluctuating light on surface. These are the components of my work.

I begin from first hand experiences and drawings, supporting the development of my ideas with reference to my photographs and crucially, the strong memories and sensations I have of a place.

I am fascinated by the dramatic impact of extreme perspective and explore the use of overlays of multiple viewpoints to express sensations of journeying from one space and level to another.

My journey began with a strong interest in the Moorish architecture of Andalusia and other Mediterranean regions. My most recent work has been inspired by more contemporary architectural spaces and building materials and has been focussed on cities in the UK
and Europe.

My training in sculpture has embedded my awareness of volume, space and surface and my many years as a teacher have accentuated the real need to look hard and to draw in order to understand and to formulate, develop and resolve ideas and insights.
