How many layers, how many masks…?
This piece took weeks to evolve: layers and textures and colours and forms emerging over numerous sessions of spontaneous creation – rather like the masks that humans create in order to take part in this great masquerade so often referred to as ‘life’.
But Life is beyond, behind and endlessly animating the masks, and the masquerade, and everything else which exists. There is life beyond the masquerade! The World of Man is built upon the earth, it is not the Earth itself.
How could I ever have forgotten?
I have awakened once more…

An expressionistic, exploratory artist, I create without restraint or intent. I am a passionate advocate of natural learning, and this organic approach informs all of my work, giving my creations their vibrancy and spontaneity. An abiding love of nature keeps me going when my rather warped sense of humour fails. Above all, I reject the dysfunction and pain our culture perpetuates. More of the same is of no interest to me. I say “YES” to that which is life-serving: let a new paradigm emerge!
