Artist Statement
Guardian,1995. Life-sized winged figure constructed from spruce then burned black.
This work was done twenty five years ago long before I knew I was Autistic. I was an artist looking for answers. Every time I tried to fly, metaphorically, I would crash and burn. The gifted child never reaching their potential. All I could do was to get up from the ashes and try to defy gravity once again.
Collection of the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, Fredericton , New Brunswick, Canada.
