Magnetic Drawings

‘I see my work as a series of visual comments - dialogue between the materials and the natural forces at work. With the magnetic pieces I wish to challenge but at the same time show respect for the unseen energy; to make visible that which would otherwise be invisible; to produce a visual as well as a cerebral and physical balance; to provoke uncertainty.’
