As a visual artist I have explored many different ways of expressing the numinous in my practice. Abstraction lends itself to discuss these ideas which are theoretical and intuitive in nature, enabling me, the artist, to create works of art with embedded philosophical and psychological meaning. The three artworks in this exhibition explore the mirror and text as a medium with its inherent formal attributes. When looking into a reflecting surface, one could argue that we are confronted by a witnessing presence that seems to split our conscious mind in two; the image (reflection) and the observer (the embodied individual) delving into the deeper meaning of looking at oneself.
