distant scars

An account of damage - featureless and unrecognizable - old wounds resurfacing, and the yearning to connect in the face of indifference and rejection.

Neil Clifford
I am a sculptor, dancer and once upon a time, an actor. Currently, my art practice is the celebration and continuing dialogue I have with nature. Over the past thirty-five years I have travelled to remote areas of the planet, fascinated by artists who live in community with their natural surroundings and whose artwork is imbued with powerful connections to their ancestors and gods. I have been guided by their knowledge that art-making serves as a vehicle for understanding our place within a greater context. So, while determining form, line and aesthetic, I consider the work in the larger realm of its natural and increasingly fragile environment. Through my art I hope to affirm our ties to all wild places, and spur on further investigation into the current predicaments that all such places are faced with. |
