In my 2015 transformation series I continue to explore how human life unfolds. In all of these works I use an assemblage of wooden materials to represent individual life experience and universal symbols that shape our human psyche. My idea is to express the complexity of life and recognise that it can only be subjectively understood. The fragments that constitute any human life experience may seem disconnected, but when joined together into the story of one human life, they form a meaning that make sense in terms of understanding why people behave as they do. Because their thoughts and actions have been shaped by experience. The assemblage is also a metaphor for the scattered archaeological remains of human life on earth. The seemingly broken and disparate elements make sense from a particular vantage point in time, looking backwards over the pieces to see how they came together to bring about transformations in the evolution of human society and culture.
