Architecture as a metaphor provided an opportunity to work with what I describe as psychological space. The forms allow me to use stairways, tunnels, passages gates and doorways that are open or closed to explore possible meanings. It facilitates the imagery of journeying, here the subject is the crypt of Antoni Gaudi's temple in Barcelona. It embodies the idea of going around and around, over and over and returning to a central area... the sense of not being able to move beyond the immeadiate most pressing situation.

Series shown at the Royal South Australian Society of Arts, Adelaide. Architectural mixed media drawings influenced by the building in Italy and Spain. On another level they are metaphorical and I analyze question about human isolation and meaninglessness, about freedom, existence and existential questions. The works are essentially psychological spaces, they connect with imagery of human journeying; stairways that do not always connect, doors that are not always open.
