Panspermia

Artist Statement 2010.

Practitioner using the creative receptiveness of material  together with the inclusion of  drawing to harbour transits and passages of human presence, vulnerabilities centred around the human condition. My work adopts strategies which articulate a sense of absence and anonymity within the abandonment of the work to its location. I feel drawn to this registering of passage, encounter together with its farewell. The choice of materials gathered together implies a personal geography, with both an emotional and aesthetic  sense of locality and place. The  performative recording by physical means which renders itself as a trace of human presence, now becomes a  vacant territory open  for the consideration of others.
My work continues to investigate this sense of material response with the performative trace of a human absences. The place-ment of these acts attempts to promote thresholds from which to reflect upon spatial, sociological and psychological conditions and perceptions. 
Currently working in clay, low fired to produce and promote a fragile vessel. This vessel is  installed to act as a dwelling presence reverberating in a resting place.  from which work is drawn into the human form to register a surface of  absences resulting from past gestures and solitudes.
