People are fascinated by modern technology. The world is becoming dependent on electronic wizardry and high-tech lifestyles to the exclusion of nature. This obsession with technology, symbolised by the iPod, and how it is taking over and destroying the natural elements, is at a point where the world is becoming severely affected. Seasons are changing and global warming could have catastrophic consequences. Land artist and environmentalist Andy Goldsworthy influenced my work and the Australian drought inspired the desert-textured forms.
