Artwork description:

Helix explores the relationship between underlying patterns and the diversity of their

expression. Each geometric element was individually cut and filled with resin; repeated

structures create unity while variations in material, colour and texture create individual character

My work is an ongoing exploration of the mystery of the underlying, hidden forces and patterns that generate and maintain our reality. It is a source of endless fascination for me that the same processes can have distinctly individual expressions.

In the most general and fundamental sense, we are at home in the manifest universe, planet and body we inhabit. Home is our shared experience. We all share the same underlying patterns of DNA, family and community and yet these are all individually expressed.
