- Artist Statement
- Our yearning to understand the nature of being human is rooted in our understanding of being animal. Permeated with a sense of magical realism, animals and females often appear together in my work to represent aspects of psyche and identity, alluding to the complexity of female identity and the sentience of animals. Central to my work are the porous boundaries between human and animal states, and the affinity of females and animals. I’m contemplating the self-awareness of animals, and our desire to understand the phenomenology of animal life from a human perspective. Humans perceive time as a linear continuum: of past, present, future; however, for animals, it is suggested they exist in a unified, harmonious totality completely different to our world view. An animal is not conscious of the finite nature of existence, with death as the end date. The animal sees the world as a unity; the animal is part of the world, not separated from it as subject and object.
