Reflect (Refract) 29th May – 15th June 2019

Reflect (Refract) To me, the most astonishing creations are always those made by nature. I could never hope to achieve the complexities of our natural world, however the combination of an artist’s mind and hand, with a faithful view or vivid memory can also achieve something captivatingly spectacular.

It is clear that obsession becomes the crux of many an artist’s work. In this body of work, I have become more enchanted with the elements of water, especially those in the glacial regions of Alberta and British Columbia. The complexity of these bodies of water, combined with the intoxicating vistas in these regions has proved a great challenge and provided me with the inspiration for Reflect (Refract).

Please note that while the general tone and colour of the mirrored works will remain the same, by design and due to the reflective nature of mirror, they will appear different in every environment they reside.
