About this artwork
The great American poet Walt Whitman, in his work “I sing the Body Electric”, merges dynamism, sensuality and physicality with the spiritual to form the potent 'Body Electric'.
I set about making studies of the body through this perspective, of the body as vibrating with life. I create a variety of responses, some more formal than others, continually developing a means of expression.…
Whitman believed that a poet's style should be simple and natural. My desire is also to be without contrivance, and to hone skill and sensitivity through the body.
