Artist Statement

Mind searches for a narrative to enter and land somewhere so we know the journey to pursue.

Having this conscious entry point can take viewers to a place the artist wants to lead them.

My view, (which is the Buddhist view) is predicated on the non-existence of the watcher, the watched and the creator.

Buddhism is about dissolving our fixation on ourselves, on the process of meditating, and on any result we might gain from it. Through meditation, we begin to get the hang of living with a non-grasping attitude.

In my work I have been exploring ways to represent this view and in creating these animations which arise, exist and dissolve I have been attempting to express this in a tangible form.
