“I am a deeply religious non-believer.”
Letter to Hans Muehsam, March 30th 1954 from Albert Einstein.

My work renders a world that can be used as a platform to explore issues of anxiety, loss and faith. The characters that inhabit that world are sexually imbibed though possess little in the way of faculties to affect their environment; they are impotent and helpless. Impulses are repressed by a religion that is the cause of much friction in itself. There is no salvation.

There are tools and signifiers that we have come to rely upon to explore the world around us. The signifiers that I use directly refer to the conservative canon of painting in the hope of critiquing the puritan ideology that created it.

Polarities abound in my work. It is liberal in content but conservative in approach, being permeated with serious ideas but humorous in their presentation. Cathartic though repressed.

As I explore the dichotomies inherent of technique and media to give my ideas form, I have been investigating sculpture as a platform. My sculptural work is informed by the figures in my paintings that come to exist undeniably in cast material. These characters then propagate themselves using the creative process with myself as their channel.

My work is the interpretation and perversion of misaligned or contrasting ideals. This is my liberation.
