"I make work in praise of animals to throw a light on their importance and to revere their being. The task gets more daunting as we move further away from them – domesticate or industrialize their presence and steal their land.
A trail of things left in the dust of creativity from ‘conception’ to finished work – searching, playful and mournful."
