Source of Becoming reflects on the relationship between form and space, and on ancient ideas about the elemental forces from which everything emerged.
Fire has long been associated with creation, transformation and renewal.

 

The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus described the world as an “ever-living fire,” constantly changing and transforming into other forms, including water and earth.

 

In this painting, water runs deep beneath rock and sky, suggesting the unseen forces that exist below the surface. The work is built through many layers, although only a few  remain visible. Like the natural world itself, what we see is only part of a much deeper process of formation, change and becoming.
