In both media, drawings as well as paintings, linear segments or surfaces are built through accumulation. It is up to the viewer to decide whether to immerse in the sub-text, whether or not to participate in the scenario; the unique design of these works takes them beyond the realm of a cultural craft into sculpture and mixed media, beyond any simplistic categorization; the current works represent earth art that celebrates how we're all connected on the one web of life; that contrast between areas in and out of focus, exaggerates the sharpness in the central area; is a segment between two points; the work does result from an awareness of the kinds of activity: collecting, analysing and sharing data. There is something quite important about this central focus to the images.
