Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

The Emotional Ripples series began in 2003. I intended to isolate emotions and physical states into a definable symbol over time.
The 2013 Oscar-nominated film ‘The Past’ written and directed by Asghar Farhadi beautifully expresses the complex nature of our relationships over time. The characters’ relationships and responsibilities were overlapping and confusing. All were looking for something definable, steady, constant, which can never be the case.
We build our Relationships on physical feelings that are also blurred and complex; they originate from different areas of the body and reverberate or ripple through the body for a period. The lines represent time, vibrations or ripples of sensation that have different undertones and intensity.
When in deep meditation, I have become aware of when a thought triggers an emotion. Watched in a moment the sensations originating from different parts of the body, watched as they grew and hung there for a period, then changed and eventually disappeared.
These emotional experiences overlap, as one grows and expands, while others recede. The subconscious mind is ready and prepared for the next trigger.
They remind me of the emojis of today as we try to communicate emotional states and reactions through technology. The artworks are an attempt to locate and single out an emotional state or states, and express them in a single symbol.

My home is a coastal town. Living next to the sea has brought me a great deal of joy and understanding. After travelling on a long trip abroad, I felt a tremendous need to paint a seascape, which eventually became a series.
As I woke in the morning, a rough sea could be clearly heard. The sound is both exhilarating and calming. I became pretty obsessed with trying to capture the sea’s complexity. As time passed, my aim shifted to capturing the rhythm of the sea, becoming increasingly aware of the rhythms and vibrations within myself and the synergy this has with the sea.
