The images I make often describe what is in my mind at the time, or relate to a friend or seasonal change, eg I made a cyclist for my cycling friend’s birthday, a birthday cake on my birthday, a sunset for the solstice.  Other times, I see a feather and think ‘that looks like a bird’, and I’m off creating another world… Sometimes I like to create geometric patterns: I let the materials suggest what they would like to become.  

The images are all ephemeral, lasting a few minutes or hours, being blown away by the wind or nudged by a curious dog, they gradually return to the land.  I take a photo and accept the transient nature of the original image.  To be honest, it is quite liberating not to have to do anything with it except take a photo and see what happens!  On another level it makes me think of the transient nature of experiences and about enjoying the moment.
