For the last seven years I have focused mainly on abstract drawing and painting using mixed media on paper. My main concerns have been our ambivalence in an accelerating ‘post-human’ world, how technology affects us in terms of ‘being human’ and our relationship to ourselves and the multiple worlds we inhabit i.e. physical world vs techno-sphere.

Working most days in a ‘zen-like’ way, my work has developed using techniques that harness the random but humanly authored accident combined with psychological and unconscious tropes.

Using my experience as a free improvisor in music and sound, my work examines critical thinking around these practices, relating them to the act of mark making i.e. the balance between volition and non-volition in the execution of a gestural mark.
Specifically therefore, if unusual harmonies and juxtapositions of sound can subvert a recognised or fixed emotional reading or register what then, in a purely visual form, can create an analogous ambiguity? Is it possible to explore the space between the two.
