In Perfect Storm XVI I see the unfurling fern, while IX presents a more literal leaf shape – in XIV, mountain peaks and the waters edge, while in IV I see a bird’s eye view of the Holy Isle retreat – the cross for me represents the Buddhist shrine […]

PERFECT STORM: COLLABORATION | MARTIN DAVIES & VESNA MILINKOVIC PERFECT STORM: LYRICAL | part I → The months leading up to December 2016 were some of the toughest I’ve experienced on a personal level, paralleling the emotions I had experienced when my father passed away in 1984 – my metaphorical car had careered off the cliff and I found myself free-falling into the abyss. As my plummet slowed, I came to a point of zero gravity, suspended like a rain drop in mid flow, […]

Ceramic abstract sculpture Karocuro – a five week project and a first for me. I borrowed inspiration from British artist Anthony Caro, in particular his sculptures in hand-made Japanese paper, by rolling out thin layers of clay, folding and layering.
