I am an artist, I create utilising the format of paints sculpture,print and photography. I enjoy the instancy of the photographic image. My imagery is ecclectic and I tend to photograph that which takes my eye rather than create from a mass production standpoint. Through the process of sharing and conversing with other artists I am hoping to improve my technique.
My work is based around identity, the self and other; how we as individuals endeavour to disguise our internal and external real selves and identities, and how this is then renegotiated within our cultural societies. I delve into my own internal real, collecting body fluids which I utilise as a reference material, often microscopes and photography are employed to capture these alien landscapes. These are then recreated as either abstracted paintings, sculpture, photographs or layered imagery. The abjected issue is a direct link from self to outside world, an uncontaminated direct issue of the owner which can be recognised in a base manner by all. These creations are identified with my imagined internal format and my real self. I then place highly reflective surfaces upon my work, which aims to include the viewer within the piece and to create a dialogue between the viewer, the work and the artist.
