In various installations, in different rooms, in changing light, on diverse surfaces, with fluctuating colours of mud, I have explored how an image or object becomes sacred, how through a physical form one moves towards something else. These works are spaces of colour, light, material and mud, manipulating the feeling of a transcendental atmosphere. It has been a process of adding and subtracting, creating both cathedrals and simple road shrines, studying the effect of both. I have come to rest on a quiet elemental contemplation of space, allowing the colour, fabric, lights to invite viewers to enter and rest within the glowing atmosphere of mud.
