VISION
The scent of Amsterdam was in the air as I drove into my hometown. A scent so distinctive; a joy so uncompromising. The pavements on either side were sweet and gay with stones not laid evenly. They misfit but come together as one.Just as the people of Amsterdam; they shout and silently wonder, they fight and ultimately love; they stand up for their rights and then again not. The joint that connects them is 'the love for the city'.The bricks on the wondrous canals share that same feeling. Criss and cross, high and low, crooked or perfectly matched; all flushed with grout to become a whole.It's that grout that is the focus of my work as it is essential for becoming ONE.
