| “God is an intelligible sphere whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.” This notion, asserted by the 12th Century theologian Alain de Lille, presages singularities and infinite curvature as the nature of reality. These ideas underpin my ongoing artistic quest to evoke a sense of the Universe’s invisible machinery through whirling gesture, undulating forms, and overlapping curved perspective. Sometimes I layer objects or human drama upon the stage of reality; while this masks the true subject of the art, it can also produce unexpected discoveries. |
