Imagine the sounding of a conch shell echoing across vast distances welcoming home or warning away; a place of shelter, of hidden depths and intriguing beauty.  Working quickly and intensively using found galvanised chicken wire, eyes closed, smiling and humming. I spend time just being around the form, touching it, feeling it, turning and testing until once more into action, wrapping it, enclosing it, capturing the form into solidity. From there into painting with gestures and motifs, jabs and strokes; bronze and blue, colours of earth, sea and sky, adding motifs from memory, from feeling, from dreams.  
 
ECHOES OF THE SEA series: Fabrications of tidal caves and shoreline spaces, of slippery surfaces and joyful times. I let my body, my spirit, sink into the making, guiding my hands to shape forms that could be of/from the sea. Rocks and shells and creatures and waves and sounds and smells and feelings; where sea meets shore, the spaces of flotsam and jetsam and imagination. #sensuouspractice
