The Father Series is rooted in ethical & moral concerns. For 500 years Western artists have consistently produced Mother & Child depictions which have
become a commonplace. By replacing the mother image with a father, the paintings become parodic & a celebration of the nurturing side of men.
The figures in the Conflict & Rope series images are concerned with the human condition in general & the conflict between the spiritual & worldly needs of us
all.
