‘Sun Series’ based on time spent in the American South West.


“My use of figures with 'arms raised' comes from a vision that I once had when I was living in Arizona. It came during a drive through the sculptured desert looking at the time-rendered landscape littered with cacti.

They appeared to me as being human in form, with arms raised, basking in the sunshine and celebrating life under the sun that fell upon them in what looked at first to be a barren wilderness. They were the souls of many collected together without feet to move, yet positioned in a paradise.”
