According to the artist: “For the ‘Sands of Time’, it's this idea of a rich visual history evolving and changing into a new narrative through our contemporary perspective and use of technology. Pattern, ornament and symmetry were unfortunate casualties of Modernism and although they are very much alive today, our viewpoint of these visual languages has changed forever.

Some of the patterning used in these pieces is very ancient (early 9th century) and I felt it was important to record it by using it within my pieces in the hope that the 'language' as such will continue to live on and evolve.”
