Preparation, reflection, of the world around me.

In preparation of the questions I found myself asking I set about considering through creative expression the organic and often uncomfortable nature of being part of the process of being, of being animal, of the fragile balance we all ( human and non human) participate in as time travellers, what are our responsibilities during this process, what value can I add to that conversation? As these questions arose my work as a creative practitioner who's work responds to rhythms of the seasons began to formulate, the following work I show began to form a personal reflection which by nature is universal in that these questions are not mine alone they are questions that we are all challenged to ask. How then do I as a creative practitioner embrace that wider dialogue? I hope the following work touches on the inclusive nature of my creative practice. The work often led by its reflections in the use a variety of different mediums, here for example I show a shell like ceramic plaster piece which due to its fragile nature will not last but for a period of time offers its own story as are the paintings which offer similar territories of unfolding new stories.
