My work is centred on the relationship between organic and geometric structures , driven by my interest in architecture . Each piece in my exhibition has been a development from the previous one , taking some element , whether organic or geometric , and expanding it further using another medium . I began experimenting on a 2D scale using colours and layering , gradually developing into 3D responses , enabling a stronger presence of structure and growth in my work . This evolution also allowed a translation back into 2D media in the final pieces while seeing how the viewing could be enhanced if presented together . When I discuss the coexistence of organic and geometric structures , the first image I see , which was my initial inspiration for this theme , is some of the temples in Cambodia I visited a few years ago . Here , the roots of the surrounding nature weave between the ancient architecture working both for and against the support system . It is this interconnected and co-dependent relationship that I was trying to express . In broader terms , I was looking at elaboration versus restraint , which is demonstrated in the contrasts present throughout my work , through inclusion of both strict , clean lines and fluid , natural shapes .
