Ivor Sias
1 - 30 December 2020

With the wide eyes of a child I'm moved to wonder at everything there is to see. Art, I believe has the function to save us from disaster by creating alongside the everyday world another realm, fashioned to the requirements of the human spirit and in keeping with an inner order which is in sharp contrast to the chaos around us. It provides a kind of anchorage. I wish to make my own personal statement - tenuous though in a truly human voice.
Ivor Sias, 2006
