My work & me

MINDFORMS : the simplicity of line, colour and geometry to express the complexity of thoughtThrough my work, I find myself probing the ‘inner mindscapes’, the invisible architecture that shapes our thoughts, emotions, and mental states. These mental landscapes often seem chaotic, but hidden within them is a structure that reveals itself.I am fascinated by the way thoughts form, break apart, connect, and merge into new ideas, and especially how some thoughts intrude (for me the number 47). I use geometry, colour, and line to express these facets. These compositions don’t symbolize specific thoughts, but instead form a visual language that captures the atmosphere of a mental state – a mood perhaps, or indeed a feeling.To give these ideas form, I choose reclaimed materials for the special character that comes with age and their past life. Toy building blocks help me build quickly; their different shapes, colours, and sizes make selection intuitive, even compulsive. Permanently fixing as I go, the artwork as a whole evolves. Somehow it takes life, and as I add more, the relationships between the colours, lines and geometry changes, in tune with my state of mind.Creating these works is a balancing act between structure and spontaneity, planning and letting go; trying to truly listen through the noise of sometimes impulsive distraction. It’s a constant 'struggle', reflecting my personal experience of finding harmony between analytical thought, unwanted thought, and creative flow.Each piece is an experiment, an attempt to capture a fleeting moment of the mind’s ongoing processes, inviting viewers to connect with the complexities of our inner worlds: mindforms
