Fundamentally my work concerns itself with the dynamics of earth’s elemental phenomenon, the weather, the natural environment and their subsequent effects both temporal and spiritual upon the landscape and ourselves.

Weather and the natural environment are multi-dimensional. The nature of their existence is very sensual, has touch, taste, temperature, shape, colour, time, volume, mass and space. Simultaneously the movements of these elements exist as both scientific and spiritual phenomenon. Dynamically they move and breathe together as a kind of global conversation. Organic in nature, elastic, moving, receding clear but also ambiguous at the same time, they remain the last frontier and beyond any form of control. The movement of weather and natural phenomenon will always have its sense of mystery for us as spiritual beings, and their effects upon us as civilizations will continue to be documented in many forms throughout our history.

There is never an ‘absence’ of weather. It is metaphoric in the sense that it communicates to us aspects of ourselves, and temperamentally it is not dissimilar to our own nature as human beings. It can easily be anthropomorphised; we give it names and project characters and personalities onto it to build patterns of behaviour in an attempt to explain its erratic, contrasting, violent, destructive and sometimes docile demeanour

It is this metaphoric comparison which forms the conceptual content of my work.
