Transformation Series

ARTIST STATEMENT The Transformation Series is a metaphor for life. All works have clear bands of primary colour that I use to represent the human child, pure fresh, vibrant and full of energy. In each work the primary colours become gradually mixed and transform into complex patterns of other colours. This is my visual metaphor for life unfolding. My idea is that as humans grow and develop they are influenced in many ways; by family community, nationality, social culture, religious or political ideologies. External influences and life experiences transform them into very different beings. In childhood the rules like colours appear clear and simple: this provides a sense of certainty and a perception of psychological security. As humans advance through life they experience greater complexity and uncertainty. Many life situations challenge cherished beliefs. Some people and some societies are open to this transformation and others are not. For me all life is like a painting and in this series I use colour as the material of life energy. I mix the colours into fluid and dynamic patterns to symbolise the transformations that occur during any life journey.
