I am intrigued by the concept of travel - physical movement from point A to point B, and travel through time and space. My books explore the layers of consciousness and sub consciousness through which travel is experienced. My artwork invites the viewer to journey with me on a blue highway, to see what lies below the surface of the sea, or to travel through the cosmos. In my books, images combine with book structure to form a harmonious whole. But beyond the harmony of image and structure, there is a juxtaposition of ideas that reveals the hidden facets and layers of these wide-ranging travels.
