“I create in order to express my emotional relationship to my
surroundings. I have lived in many harsh environments, deserts and salt
lakes, mining areas, snow country and dense forests. These environments
are defined by extreme cold and heat, floods and bushfires, strong
storms and high winds. I make what I see around me- charred blackened
wood and earth, mud and teeming water, moss, leaves and bark. This is
reflected in the tactile nature of my work. I enjoy the simple beauty
found in nature and embody this in my work.”

“My surly-looking bell figurines are inspired by the people I see around me – particularly on public transport and in my neighbourhood. Nostalgia and reminiscences play an integral part in my work, especially childhood memories of growing up in Malaysia and the people who made an impression on me. I’ve always adopted a stylised form of illustration and love bringing these characters to life with expressive line brushwork and a good dose of humour.”
