SPIRITEARTH: The Poetry Chronicles

                               The Poetry Chronicles are a creative adventure within a series that celebrates
               the rhythm and flow of the natural forces that shape our world. The fusion of
               the human visage within the ancient mediums of stone and wood has intrigued
               the artist with it's emotional context; the "poetic voice" assumed by the work
               and so readily understood within the visual language of humanity. The approach
               to this series is inspired by the spiritual elegance and autonomous diktat of the
               natural world, the tenuous relationship between mankind and the forces that
               shape our existence. Sculpture evolves from the dignity of a silent dialect
               between stone carver and a medium from the first breath of creation. It's a
               language of chance, free verse and if the moment is right; poetry.

                   the threads that connect myth, past and present, and even forces of nature"
