Human beings have always created artefacts, icons and relics. We invest trust, hope and faith in these things and they become sacred to us. Are we looking for external reminders of our own divinity? It's this process that interests me and informs much of my work.
I enjoy the challenge of producing images that suggest hidden truths, and knowledge ... echoes of the sacred.
