Artist’ Statement

The following etchings investigate how different concepts of consciousness (of the self)
have been developed psychologically and spiritually and how they are influenced by
reason, religion and gender.
This has led to an understanding which presents "original sin" as self-conscious
arrogance and a deep vulnerability and alienation from our environment. Our sense of
specialness generates a fascination with our technology and its toys. An alternative
viewpoint presents a metamorphosis of energy and spirit from the natural world and
a protective feeling of oneness with its marvellous variety.
