Birds are marvellous in themselves and as metaphors of beauty, joy and freedom. I have found that a sense of wide open space also gives a sense of freedom and infinite possibility. The third formal element I’m working with here is surface. My surfaces are inspired by sand left by waves on the beach, Weathered stone and aged wood and have required multiple layers of colour and pattern scratched and sponged back to leave traces of the history below. Hence, I am trying to convey something of a sense of a found object and serendipity; passing moments precious because they can never to be repeated.
