The Old Goat and the Screw
Pittura, Natura morta, Olio, 122x122x3cm
Within my practice I continue to explore a variety of contexts involving economies of production, seduction and exchange, associations, sensations, eroticism and excessiveness.
My painting begins as a construct between the binary tensions of figuration and abstraction.
I compound various past histories of painting alongside everyday images and ideas which I come in contact with. I feel this highlights the tendency we have for investigating the past and also experiencing 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 code. There becomes confusion in the interpretation of the work, readings therefore become personalized, where one’s perceptions are filtered according to one’s inherited assumptions about the world and what one really wants to see or think they understand.
