| About the Artist | |
The dust of everyday life – the unavoidable and necessary by-product of living, engrosses me. Art, also an unavoidable and necessary by-product of living, engrosses me. Art, like dust, is a residue of life and therefore, the making of art is like an extreme act of self-exfoliation. For me, making art is a per-version of life that has many possible diversions. Sometimes these diversions take you somewhere unexpected, sometimes somewhere gross but you have to keep going. |

Dust (death) Mask
2006 |
)
|
| Part of 'Immaculate Conceptions'
In order to give the most protection, the dust mask must sit snug, like an external skull against the contours of the skin.
In the future, if evolution is to equip us against the increasing rate of pollution, we might develop an external apparatus similar to the exoskeleton of an insect.

Being and Nothingness

| Like dust, the figure settles into sleep. He becomes almost invisible to himself, lost between the particles of his thoughts, memories, and the subliminal messages of his dreams. Photo by Simon Steven
Being and Nothingness is displayed in a black perspex floor standing display case which measures approximately 88 x 75 x 48cm |

|
| A transparent suitcase containing shadowy objects of dust, how one might expect to see a suitcase through an x-ray security screening system at the airport. It’s as though the x-rays, leaving only the coatings of dust, had completely disintegrated the actual objects. With the ever-increasing invasiveness of technology, you wonder from where the threat will come. |

Flyblown (a diseased drawing)
2007 |
)
|
| A corruption of the purity of the whiteness of the paper. The materials used have fused, making the paper appear more like a sheet of metal or raw flesh. The paper resembles skin, scarred by the process of drawing, pitted and warn. The drawing has been through 4 states of obliteration: The Fly, The Squashed Fly, The Ghost of a Fly and Flyblown |

screwed up flat ideas no 1
2008 |
)
|
| With the screwed up flat ideas series I would like to show the violence that exists in the physicality of living - It is the repetitive movements that keep us alive that will ultimately weaken and destroy us. In this work the thick paper is resuscitated to the point where it almost breaks down. The center was repeatedly screwed up and opened out whilst being violently drawn into, resulting in at least 15 pencils being broken in the process. |

blow-up
2005/2006 |
)
|
| A miniature sandcastle is metaphorically blown-up and then projected onto itself and its surrounding area. The barrage of sandblasted imagery makes for imaginary interpretations far removed from traditional beach activity.
The mind when turned in on itself is similar to the sandcastle,unstable when bombarded by its own over-magnification.
The war-machine and the mechanisms for creating art are not that dissimilar. Both have the propensity to be delusional.
Originally shown at Deal Castle and then extended to the Ramparts, Saint-Omer, France as part of Defend/Defende, a cross-channel collaboration co-curated by Christine Gist and Benoit Warzee |
