  Artist’s Statement
   
To date both my small and large scale work has explored material values and the beauty found in aging processes. Utilising and responding to found objects and my environment I attempt to capture the essence of the subject matter I am working with. My environment is an important factor in my work as I respond to the visual qualities around me.
