These works begin with a single thought: words matter. They carry beauty, nuance, and music—and yet, I so often let them slip by, unused or uncelebrated. This realisation has set me on a gentle quest: to gather words of rare loveliness and give them a second life in colour, shape, and line.

Each artwork begins with the word itself, written in curling script, mirrored and reversed until it becomes something new—an almost insect-like form, delicate and strange, emerging from the symmetry. In this way, language transforms into image, and image becomes a kind of visual poem.

I call this collection Glossary—a compendium not just of words, but of the feelings they awaken. 

 

Please note : These works are held in my New Zealand studio and are available as prints only with gold ink/metallic paint embellishments only.
