re-Working

The way in which we view the world around us is not set in concrete; instead it changes depending on a wide range of circumstances.

My work tends to be realised through an amalgam of digital imagery, cardboard sculpture and painted elements, the status of which rises and falls depending on the context, but, all the while alluding to an ever shifting understanding of myself, place and time.
My current work revolves around re-Working previous motifs that questioned the nature of authenticity of material / medium within our contemporary culture of the copy.

Utagawa Hiroshige II 1826 - 1869

Landscape of the season: summer.

The trees in this painting by Utagawa Hiroshige II (The adopted son of Utagawa Hiroshige) are wonderfully strange, almost design with 8 Bit art in mind. 

A new beginning...

Welcome to my blog.

I am almost petrified with indecision to begin this. Almost. But now it has begun... I hope words will just spring forth without the awful hiatus, fingers hovering above keyboard, unable to commit.

I intend this blog to be a collection of meanderings around my art practise / life / stuff. This will not occur in a linear fashion, but, more like a vacillating moth caught between various light sources, screaming and careering between the various beams of interest.
