I don’t start my work with an intellectual premise or a fixed concept it begins more with a daydreaming or a starting point of doing something around – say fantasy – which summons particular materials and repetitive gestural patterns. My mind offers up ideas and my body and gut decide which way to go – but it’s a balance rather than any one leading force – I guess my work is process driven and relies on curiosity, experimentation and resonance.
