Much of my past work has been inspired by my travels in India, New Zealand, Ireland and Turkey. There are some concepts and themes that run through these bodies of work.
The large photo etchings show an Indian temple with a large Buddha, where on different floors of the building you could see a different section of the sculpture. The figure filled the building yet at no point could you see the whole of it: a tangible example of there being hidden aspects of things that still have an impact on the whole.
“Unguarded Moments” is a body of work that had its origin in trying to deal with the concept of a circle, both literal and metaphorical: a vicious circle of unending and un-resolving revolution. The images were inspired by watching young Buddhist monks in Sikkim, Northeast India keeping tiny oil lamps alight. The flames were constantly in need of being re-lit as they died or the air movement blew them out, creating an endless cycle of re-lighting only to be extinguished, and on and on.
