A common thread in my current practice is a fascination with the notion of infinity and a particular interest in creating unusual perspectives, using mainly geometrical forms. This is achieved by using “dots” to symbolize particles of matter that cannot be seen with the naked eye. The purpose of the “dots” is to metaphorically represent particles of matter as they float through space, intersect and cross one another.

The geometrical forms are also a metaphor for human life, where some forms appear delicate and almost invisible, in contrast to the clearly visible, strong and solid forms that surround them.
