East West Project has been a self initiated undertaking spanning over 5 years to date.  It has been supported by Arts Council South East funding at 4 stages in its development.  The work is large drawings and cement sculptures, some of which are life sized.  This has now toured to 6 galleries ranging from Sussex, Oxfordshire, West Lothian, and Kent.   

2 West drawings have been chosen to be displayed in the Garrick/Milne prize exhibition during September

Series of studies on Richard II at Shakespeare's Globe 2003

THE WORK IS ABOUT:
- the stillness within repeated patterns of movement
- a reference to detail of costume, anatomy without formal depiction of it
- breaking up the solid forms with strong marks as movement does to our view of people within space
- reflecting changing and temporary states yet seeking permanence
- the trance like element of repeated movement within devotional ritual in India, warm up exercise for dancers in the West etc
- a response to how performance disturbs and enriches life

Part of study in India has been the South Indian dance form Bharata Natyam. 

 This has involved travel to Mamallapuram to watch and film the dance festival and working with an Indian dancer in this country
