Artist Statement 

As a child I loved the diagrams in science text-books, the underlying patterns of life, described and delineated.

Magnetic fields, bee-dances and bird migration; feathers, atoms and cells. Copying in my exercise books, I was immersed in a world beyond the surface of everyday 'reality'.

Later, in the writings of Blake, Hesse and Rilke, punk rock, LSD and alchemical illustrations I found experiences that resonated with mine.

I still keep notebooks. Drawing is a conversation with myself - a way to work-stuff-out.

My artworks could be described as 'diagrams of the subconscious'. Akin, though not deliberately to theosophical 'Thought Forms'.
