Story
Since Iβm a chemist, Iβm always looking at tiny living stuffβmicroscopic critters and cells. My creations come from mixing those up, playing around with what I see under the microscope until they turn into something new. Itβs like Iβm experimenting, trying to make my own way of showing whatβs down there at that level. I want it to feel alive, not just science on paperβmore like a bunch of little stories about how everythingβs tied together.
A Speaking Scenery
That's where my little postman, Ann in a red cap, comes in. I picture people as these lonely little planets, floating out there in a cold, quiet microsopic universe. She wanders through it all, delivering bits of my work to you. Itβs kind of like sheβs dropping off a letter you didnβt know you were waiting for. I like thinking my art can reach out that way, linking us up through something small but real.
The Postman Ann
My landscapes breathe with life, shaped by repeating strokes and patternsβlike natureβs own reactions unfolding. They grow into an endless garden, one Iβm always nurturing, piecing together as its gardener. Itβs not about a still image; itβs a living thing, shifting and stretching with its own energy. And thereβs Ann, wandering its paths, red cap flashing through the green. Sheβs part of it, bringing those microscopic whispers into this sprawling, vibrant places.
