Desert Constellation

Distinct symbols have emerged intuitively in my artistic practice over the years, manifesting through processes reminiscent of surrealist automatism.

The symbols that populate my work, spirals, constellations, biomorphic forms, and recurring feline figures, emerge intuitively through sustained making and material engagement. Over time, these forms have developed internal relationships, interacting across works as elements within a shared symbolic ecology. The resulting world appears playful and intuitive, but subtly allows questions about transformation, death, rebirth, and continuity.
