About the Artist

Melbourne-based artist working with themes of memory, place and identity through video, painting and miniatures.

While his work predominantly addresses the nature of memory and place, it further explores issues and sustainability of the image through memory and how this in turn affects the image itself through generational copying between artefact and reappropriation.

The recent collective series, Uber memoria (1-7), reappropriates various character-based portraits located in medieval religious paintings at St. Michael's church in the Southern German town of Schwaebisch Hall. These images are then recreated through performative video and filmed in locations of significance in Germany, England, New Zealand and Australia, as a way of repositioning memories of the original image(s) into locations that themselves hold memories of historical impact thus captured through video.

In doing so, the dilemma for the image is now three-fold: (1) strained under the weight of separate locations coming together to form a new image - how does this impact on the idea of originality?, (2) the impact on memory through the conceptualisation of juxtaposing two moments of the past together into the present at the same time, and (3) how the nature of video reproduces these kinds of images into another version of the original, a third generational copy - a 'memory' of a witnessed event.

These works and others are primarily influenced by video artists such as Bill Viola and Eija-Liisa Ahtila, and film directors such as Alfred Hitchcock, Liev Schebier and Zach Braff.

Other influences in context to painting are Damian Hirst, Jeff Koons and Caravaggio; and in context to miniatures are the Chapman Brothers, Ricky Swallow and Mariele Neudecker
