When I work it is a process that rises to engage and combine instinct and emotion with my visual perceptions and the reality of manipulating the medium. All the time I am searching for the moment when the piece of work seems to stand alone and
complete.
The content or subject, be it a political message or response to nature, is always just another layer in the process.
