Artist's Statement:

'continuity by a thread'

A loose line and a tight grid

Continuity by a thread, [the makings of], represents a body of work exploring the overarching grid that links a fragile thread, the mortal coil, that binds and unites the disparate forces of continual change underpinning human existence. The thread symbolises the connecting life force that has been a constant companion working within the formal boundaries and structure of living my being.

and so it goes...

it will take me where it may.
