Inspiration for This Work

Cast Bronze; 17(h) x 16(w) x 23(d)cm.

BHD refers to 'bad hair day'.

When everything is coming at you & you cannot cope, everything going wrong, and your head is about to explode - this is what it looks like.

I'm sure we can all relate.

The tradition of vanitas tells us to live for the moment - memento mori, and so an exploding skull reminds us that we need to enjoy the good times, as the next cycle of depression will be coming again.

Student Biography

Over the years, the physical form of people, animals and the land has provided much interest and intrigue. To capture the emotion and the 'soul' of a subject is the essence of using a pliable medium. My work seeks to go beyond the physical, accessing our emotional and spiritual sides.

The reassurance that there is an all encompassing, comforting body surrounding us is a basic need of our lives. Many experiment with dark and dangerous forms and are left scarred, or with an emptiness that doesn't get filled. My work confronts and stimulates people to seek illumination, and provide comfort through images.

Born 1960 in Sydney, lives and works in the beautiful Sutherland Shire, Sydney.
