" 'Bare Bones' is a journey of self-discovery as I enter into a new era of my life, from focusing on looking after my family and to turning my attention to myself. A reflective look at my past, present and where I m heading. An explorative series of rock forms (bones) stacked upon one another, similar to a cairn which shows us the way, is my back bone, my journey.   From past experiences in my life, to empty nest syndrome, to being on the threshold of discovering who I am, to what I can do as an artist.  Each rock is an intuitive emotional response to significant life events that are very personal to me. We all face difficult challenges in our lives and with overcoming those challenges comes growth.  The sacking of our rocks, interlocking, balancing, moving upright into our own potential."
