I am fascinated by fractals, and the apparently random but in fact systematic structures found in nature. I often use number systems or geometric forms in the composition of my work, in an attempt to convey this sense of ‘ordered chaos’. Pieces often develop in series, representing the way we usually experience our environment - not standing still, but moving through it. It represents time spent ‘being in’ nature, rather than landscapes observed from fixed viewpoints. The images are abstracted in various ways, in an attempt to allow space for each viewer to read into the work their own personal experiences and memories of places and times.
