Arena (2014)
White Raku, Glaze, Glass
Varying sizes
The work explores a concern for the quality of inner life and wholeness, a search for the state of oneness with ultimate reality - melting mind and matter. An illusory void is realised which is meant to be a meeting point for the artist and the viewer. By creating a transitional space, an active zone, which crosses time and the space in which we interact, the artwork indicates an experience of the profound that is present for us all. It is an arena in which to act on the desire to express spiritual ideals, evoking the otherwise unarticulated or inexplicable.
