Shattered Mirror will provoke an in-depth look into the artist’s creative metamorphic process. Pulling from the artist’s perspective, it is about the journey they have taken over time, the obstacles they have faced along the way, complacency and depression at having lost the ability to create from a place of fresh mind, body or spirit and a transformative rebirth of imagination, akin to a child that has yet to discover fear or social barriers.

As artists evolve, they yearn for creative challenges and outlets with which to tear down creative blockades, whether they are self-inflicted or imposed by society and other forces. They loathe conformity or being boxed into a limited genre and medium. To possess creative spirit, one must have the freedom to express without restrictions and borders.

This exhibition challenges the artist to face that metaphoric mirror and break through it. To face themselves and test their personal resolve. To defy what stands between them and continuing along their creative path. To shatter the obstacle, casting aside pre-conceived ideations and allowing them to run through with boundless perspective. To discover they are no longer a reflection, but amorphous and free.
