On Your Wings (2012)

In this collection I explore the complexities inherent in relationships and the transformative nature of love. Each piece comments on a different aspect, ranging from the desire to own and possess through to the evolving nature of courtship and the ways in which words are heard, misunderstood or lost.

These pieces suggest that relationships help shape, define and challenge us, while reinforcing the connectedness we, as humans, all share.
