“Intention is what ultimately provides budding awareness with energy to preserve earth. What excites me tremendously is being human in our unique individual experience of life, spirituality, emotions. As an artist I respond to my environment, thoughts, and inner motions with the need to articulate, express and communicate awareness of human impact on nature.
My work speaks about energies, wholeness and continuation. Life lines. Spirit lines, Mind map. It speaks about inner force, oneness and impermanence within people and within nature.
Life creates a chain of never ending events of cause and effects.
I focus on abundance and contemplate that looking at, and respecting and honouring fertility of our life-source is a step towards constructive change.
Shaken by the immense destruction which is very noticeable in every field of life (war, pollution, violence, escapism, ignorance) we desperately need to turn towards encouraging mindsets.
Life-force does not stop!
I’d like to arrive open minded in Plett with a clear intention but a rough concept so that inspiration through the location can take over the creative process.”
