"Having worked all my life in wood as a journeyman carpenter I got the opportunity to do volunteer work allover the world helping small woodworking shops adapt to the future.

What I saw were mostly men assisted by their wives making things to sell. After work they used whatever objects or materials they found to create art which they sold to dealers ,or at markets .

Pretty soon I changed my interest to these artisans.

From across the world I realized that sculpture can be created from scrap ,that it is the imagination and skillthat transforms these bits into sculpture."

Janice Mae Jacinto aka Jujube

"I am currently exploring the visual manifestations of symmetrical works of art. Through my drawings onpaper, I also have discovered the relationship between Ets and earthly characters and their spaces withinthe compositions. I very much enjoy capturing them in my works by first using pencil, then after ink, thenlater on I colour everything with bright tones shades - giving it a psychedelic vibe! The theme of aliens hasdefinitely helped me broaden my imagination and artistic range."

Jen O'Connor

"When I create, I hope to capture the metaphysical transformation taking place which I would describe asthe materialization of spirit through spiritualizing matter. I hope to open a viewer’s understanding ofpossibilities that lie beyond our technical understanding. I work with an openness to create a diverseamalgamation of medium and matter where the whole is greater than the individual parts."

"The universe has always moved me.

I traveled to Jordan in January of 2013. While sleeping at a traditional Bedouin camp in the Wadi Rumdesert, the camp owner came to wake me up at one in the morning. I wrapped a thick blanket around meand followed him to a spot in the middle of the desert where I eventually lay down to look at the sky. Icreated these works while thinking of that magical night in the desert in Jordan. There are moments in ourlives when we try to resist but cannot help but to be sucked into something. Whenever I look at my works, Ifeel my body being transported into the vortex of irresistible power of the night sky. I want the visitorslooking at my works to also experience calm yet immense power that the universe has."
