CONSTANCE MCMILLAN Artist Statement The primary aim of my work is to reveal corresponding, but ever-forming relationships, betaken what I perceive within my own nature, and what I perceive in the world around me. Mainly through ambiguity, disjuncture and gesture, I try to suggest the constant shifting - the "always becoming" aspect of these relationships. About
