An art that somehow embraces both pleasure and, not pain exactly, but tensions, frictions, the problematic. Not confronting issues but experiences, memories, desires - experiences of love, which are hard to represent. The work moves me and, hopefully, the viewer into a place beyond the everyday and usual understanding of the world. This new place will be known through a felt knowledge and only gradually will this grow into a new and conscious understanding. I am concerned to draw the viewer into the work either through active participation, the use of 3D space or the use of disparate and tactile materials.
