work, NZ

back to the book pages – combining images i’ve collected along the way (most of these coming from PILOT –  a great art/design/fashion mag out of new zealand) mixing them up gives them a new and different life. working both on the wall and in the book suits different moods and gestures and one starts to flow into the next.

Untitled Document

the project:
to live and work in various artist residencies around the world for at least one year, exploring differing cultures, landscapes and resources.

the proposal:
how does "place" impact the creative process? by living and working in a variety of cultures, and using mostly local materials and imagery, i look to capture the essence of the environment in the artwork that i do.

the hero's journey:
my long held interest in the archetype of the hero's journey, as explored by joseph campbell, in the context of the creative process, is the overarching structure of this project. considering each stage of the sacred journey, or pilgrimage, gives me courage and insight while continually pushing off from the shore into the unknown, both physically and creatively.
