Selected work on the theme of inner landscapes. Landscapes of mind and body, where the intangible is transformed into visceral, poetic narratives; diverse in form and content, both reflective and responsive, allowing humour and the absurd to interact with melancholy and disquiet; to shimmer briefly in your imagination.
nowhere, darkness, disquiet, listening
