I do not often consciously start out with an artistic concept in mind when I begin working. 

However, when I look back at my completed work for this project, I realise that much of what I have created  has come from a place deep within my own thoughts, driven by my inner wisdom and insight.

For example,          some of my pictures show waving and twisted lines which I feel suggest the idea of a desire to gain a better understanding of complex and complicated issues. 

Some of the liens are knotted and entangled           where perhaps I am expressing the struggle we all experience, with navigating through life’s problems and puzzles.

In some of my work,     it is perhaps more obvious,        with brick-like shapes showing the barriers that few want to break through.

To me,          the crossing lines on some of these particular images represent the spiritual,      emotional.         And physical journeys we are on to help us break free and overcome all our obstacles,         both in the world of art and the wider world!
