The past is a shadow emanating from the light of the present

 

I have always felt a sense of comfort and belonging looking into humanities deep past.  Investigating and grounding my work in this breadth of time gives me clarity of thought to create images, that while complex in their simplicity, are also managing to  connect with our «Zeitgeist». 

 

How did ancient societies perceive their environment. They obviously prioritized different things to us such as orientation, astronomy and the cycles of the seasons. Through my practice of sketchbook work, drawings, paintings and installation I try to understand and reinterpret ancient monuments, carvings, manuscripts and maps. I find that the further I look back along the chronology of the human experience, the more it helps me in small increments to reassess and alter my view of humanity.
