Artist Statement
The small works created for Tiny Gallery serve two purposes for me. They serve as figure studies for larger works that will be shown at Stormwater Studios in May 2021 alongside the clay work of Lucy Bailey. They also continue a theme I have worked on for many years...figures surrounded by or floating within minimal, barren landscapes. This theme emerges from my father’s Alzheimer’s experience.
