About the Artist"Listening for connections and finding the unexpected is a healing force in my art making"
“Humans are complex, creative beings, and when we create something that expresses our own complexity, we arrive at an inner distillate of clarity through our own creative inner process”. In my work I also play with moulds and repetition as a way of referencing the ‘mimetic’ (Braidotti) culture. Intended as a dynamic assemblage of difference and points of intersection, images and ideas and altered into something I would not have imagined, at the start. Rosi Braidotti speaks of the creative force, a head start towards the task of envisioning alternative world orders and more humane social systems. A Becoming – grounding memories, a sense of self and identity that have infinite possibilities to generate transversal and collective transformations. Curriculum VitaeACADEMIC 1994-98.
