From The Artist...
'During my university days I remembered reading that creativity happens at the edge of chaos and order… For me the chaos just happens to look like haphazardly abandoned pebbles, some wrapped tightly by slimy seaweed, littering the beautiful sandy coloured beach; the order like a beautiful coquina clam shell, with its petite structure and unique shell pattern but carrying the huge importance to the ecosystem to filter the water that reminds me of its creator. For me it is somewhere in the middle where the magic happens, where creativity broods over the chaos and what has never been seen becomes visible.
A simple walk down the beach or over any stoned surface explodes into a symphony of possibilities; in giddy glee as I carry the treasures toward their purpose. What once was discarded by the vast ocean, with its own silent story, getting tossed and turned for thousands of years until it becomes the exact shape and size I can use for my creations now goes on a further adventure with a new story. There is something very satisfying about unveiling something that was overlooked to now desired. The creating is the easy part; it's seeing beauty while it's still hidden that is the adventure for me.'
