The island series depict entanglements on isolated islands; representations of  the tension between our need to exploit the natural environment and livestock to make a home, against our obligation for the conservation and preservation of native forests and wildlife for its own survival. They can be viewed as theatrical tableau; a reflective space which highlight mankind’s complex relationship with the land, flora, fauna and all set against the encompassing endless ocean.
