As I child I fantasised about being an animal. I would go days without speaking, responding only in gestures and sounds. I realised in my recent years how valuable this form of play actually was. It allowed me the daily opportunity to observe life through completely different eyes.
 
This painting was both a return to my childhood self and one of the greatest realisations of my adult life. I realised with this painting that what I was doing as a child was much more than child’s play. I was profoundly aware of my connection to animals, to the earth and to all other life. This painting was the first of my ongoing series of hybrid paintings, representing the importance of the human connection to the natural world.
