Diamond Life Collection: Diamonds for me represent life, light and death, carbon based life becoming carbon light crystallised. I’m exploring the idea of us being many things at once. Using the fractures of the diamond to look through, and reveal past, present, future, inner and outer. The eternal moment held in one space. The use of skulls/skeletons represents my relationship to mortality, guilt, conscience and the subconscious self. I’m using the motif of the diamond to explore various interests and meditations on stuff steaming through my mind. I like the idea of multiple dimensions, and the ability to be what we want to be, avoiding limiting definitions that hold us back from our true potential.

I’m a mixed media artist. These pieces are vector based.
