ARTIST STATEMENT
The work I am creating at Ace this year is a further evolution of my previous work in 2010, and collaboration with Master printer Adriana Monti-Moracci. Moving forward from my previous work at Ace I am enjoying exploring the possibilities in developing new realities, as the work evolves.Through this exploration of new media techniques and organic drawings I have the opportunity to create "another world".
