'As an artist I take my instruction and inspiration from forms in nature - from the detail contained in a seed pod to the fragility of a massive riverbed. The observer might use my work as a point of contemplation of our connectedness to the natural world and the extraordinary minutiae it contains'. Rudi Jass
