Plateaux of the Ruminative Affect

My painting explores the binary tensions of figuration and abstraction.
Within this construct I compound various histories of painting alongside everyday images and ideas in which I come in contact with. I feel this highlights the tendency we have for investigating the past and experiencing the multiplicity of the present.
By utilizing photography, a variety of media sources and computer technology, I layer signs and symbols, folding them together to de-centre and accentuate the vulnerability of their nature. This tendency creates a free play of meaning where visual language transmigrates, contaminates and negates its original coding.
Within my practice I continue to explore a variety of contexts involving economies of production, seduction, exchange, sensation, eroticism and excessiveness.
