I make work that connects with the Jungian notion of the collective unconscious and the shadow self. Using the familiar visual language of myth, folk tale and landscape, I draw from my own subconscious to understand both myself and to remind the viewer that there is more to them than their civilized presentation. Incantations and conjuring designed to entice the viewer to surrender their rational and analytical consciousness for something of their archaic selves.

Now living mental and physical health challenges, the result is a change in emphasis in my practice. Now a deeply personal inner dialogue that makes up my daily ritual, psychological and spiritual practice.
