Found throughout the world in areas of early human habitation, the hand print is one of the earliest known forms of human mark making. The hand exists as a primary organ in our sensual relationship with each other and the world. Hands and the ways we've have used them to develop and employ increasingly complex tools could be said to be one the things that define who and what we are
The drawings in this series were made using yellow, red and blue pigments - the primary colours that white light is broken down into when it passes through a prism. Light is the vehicle with which our eyes take in information from the world outside our bodies. The Flower of Life pattern that threads through all of these works provides a rhythm that paradoxically unifies and fractures. The drawings combine asymmetry with bilateral symmetry - echoing that of our own bodies
These works explore what happens when a primary, sensual and subjective form of mark making is brought into conjunction with a linear pattern that alludes to the fundamental geometries that permeate all spatio-temporal realities and are the building blocks of material existence
