My work explores the relationship between pre-Raphaelite tenets and unwanted gifts. With influences as diverse as Camus and Andy Warhol, new synergies are manufactured from both mundane and transcendent structures. Ever since I was a postgraduate I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of the human condition. What starts out as vision soon becomes finessed into a tragedy of power, leaving only a sense of dread and the unlikelihood of a new synthesis. As temporal replicas become transformed through diligent and diverse practice, the viewer is left with a new agenda of the limits of our condition. Through my work I attempt to examine the phenomenon of history as a metaphorical interpretation of both Sigmar Polke and data mining. What began as a personal journey of orthodoxy has translated into images of narrative that resonate with cultured people to question their own connection to the archive. My mixed-media kleptomania embodies an idiosyncratic view of tension, yet the familiar imagery allows for a connection between socio-political magazines, and modern values.
