A stage has been created for each work in Whispering Pillars, where refuse is transformed into surreal dancing ghosts. These rhythmic harbingers mark our long-term lack of concord for so many exquisite earthly complexities.
Over the last 40 years my practice has been dedicated to developing a unique approach combining simple coloured pencils and the methodologies of traditional natural history illustration. The work is produced in multiple layers and sealed with varnish, which stabilizes the surface and prolongs the life of the work while luring the viewer into the immediacy of the image itself.
