Recent arrivals to an ancient land we have nevertheless inherited from our European forefathers visceral threads that bind us to the very stones at our feet or the shadows in the forest.

We make our own marks on this landscape with fences and roads that impose boundaries. Lines of introduced conifers march up granite hills.

Even apparently pristine forest will reveal to the trained and inquiring eye marks of human intervention. In some areas you will still find artefacts from an earlier occupation. My work seeks to absorb and envelope these hidden histories.”

JAN KIERZKOWSKI: “Often, the house is a symbol that typifies the self.

I would like to think that I build my “House” from the ground up - drawing upon the energy and inspiration from the earth and elements.

A creative process resonating a sense of SPIRITUS SANCTUS at its archetypal core”.
