Looking back across more than three decades, I have come to understand that the works I have created are manifestations of a sustained enquiry that has unfolded through different materials, locations, and forms.

The medium changed. The scale changed. The sites changed. The enquiry remained.

For many years, I understood my practice through fluid processes that were directed yet ultimately unknown, I learned to trust emergence itself. Alongside this practical enquiry, I maintained a lifelong interest in philosophy, consciousness, ecology, and contemplative traditions that question assumptions of separation between self and world.

The emergence of the Fluid Loop marked an important threshold. What began as a recurring circle evolved into a broader framework through which I could understand relationship itself. Over time, this developed into Circle Culture. Importantly, the philosophy emerged from the practice.

Through making, observing, witnessing, returning, and responding, the work gradually revealed patterns extending beyond individual artworks. In this sense, the practice has been my teacher.

Increasingly, I have come to understand the work not as an act of control but as a process of participation. The medium - from paint to environment - and chance become collaborators. The work emerges through collaboration and facilitation, and my role is often to create the conditions through which something may reveal itself.

At its core, the practice is informed by the recognition that humanity is not separate from Nature but an expression of it. Beneath differences of culture, identity, belief, and geography, we share common dependencies, vulnerabilities, and an origin within the living systems that sustain us.

In an increasingly fragmented world, I am interested in what remains universal. The work seeks to create space for reflection on the consequences of disconnection and disassociation—conditions that can manifest as forms of collective numbness toward one another and the living world. Through an exploration of relationship and interdependence, the practice invites consideration of what might change when assumptions of separation begin to dissolve, and when awareness of our participation within larger ecological, social, and planetary systems comes into view.
