Shadow & Light series:
That which is seen, unseen. A blur, movement,
light falling, light passing. The transformation of what is known, what is
understood. A mystery revealed, an opening in to another world. The detail
taken out of context, the beauty of the mundane and ordinary taken to new
heights…. Art makes us see things anew, in a different light, out of context,
observing the familiar and unfamiliar, noticing all and transforming in to
another realm, a new understanding or new light...
My
artwork is inspired by the quality of light, mood and atmosphere in the
landscapes and environment around me
Now living
in Dubai, I have begun a new series of work responding to my environment, sense of place and quality of
light in the UAE. I have found inspiration observing the intimate details in my
local environment with the dramatic play of light and fall of shadows,
accentuating the organic and sensual nature of plants and Arabic lanterns.
As an expat living in the UAE, I am
seeing everything with fresh eyes, noticing all the detail and beauty in my new
surroundings, taking the detail out of its everyday existence and highlighting
the qualities of light, mystery and mood.
