The  cosmic realms have been an enduring source of interest which has evolved into a lifelong fascination with astronomy and space exploration.    Being an experimental artist I consider art and science to be closely bound counterparts, as each field carries with it a sense of wonder, scope for experimentation, the opportunity for deep inquiry,

and the prospect of discovery and revelation.   

​

Largely scrutinising relationships between inner and outer worlds - their hidden secrets and visual revelations –

my  work largely draws upon organic shapes and patinas, and environments both near and cosmically far.  

​

Dealing with spatial location and the fact that we all inhabit the same planet as well as a much larger space - the Universe - my work offers an interface for philosophical reflection.  My compositions become  zones in which to consider connection with one's environment, self, and the cosmos.

​

I gain proximity to my subject via my telescope, a Saxon eight inch Dobsonian.   This, together with several  excursions to NASA, Houston, the Kennedy Space Centre, ongoing relationship with Swinburne University's Centre of Astrophysics wand continueal space-related research, has informed a series of creatively visualised  phenomena, deep space anatomy,  light spectacles and cosmic possibilities.
