Recent work (2005)
Details
The major works are based around the idea of a young boy discovering the past after entering a cave and seeing bones of animals from earlier historic periods. The idea began after reading short stories written by Leonardo da Vinci as well as his painting ‘Madonna of the Rocks’ (1483), which always intrigued me. He is attempting a ‘world view’, combining pagan, Christian and scientific themes in a powerful tension.
