The cloud motif is said to have arrived in parts of Asia from China in the 16th century as a

predominant motif on ceramics and textiles. In Asian cultures the clouds symbolizes water,

fortune and the transitional worlds of heaven and earth. Within the context of this series

the cloud motif places the body or figure in a transitional state between worlds, of being

enveloped in an emotional state of dreaming.

The depiction of the body in this series has evolved out of a subconscious grappling with

issues of sexuality and sensuality -- of how these issues are debated in public life, the

domestic sphere, and my relationship with my own sexuality. The bodies dream, in a

transitional state, of what has gone before and what lies ahead.
