Poetry leads to the same place as all forms of eroticism — to the blending and fusion of separate objects. It leads us to eternity, it leads us to death, and through death to continuity. Poetry is eternity; the sun matched with the sea. - Georges BatailleIn his essay, The Metaphor of the Eye, Roland Barthes wrote about Bataille...

My practice is experimental and multi-disciplinary, often driven by an interest in contradiction or paradox. I use the appropriation and defacement of found materials to construct scenarios or images that manipulate the 'real' or recognisable. Fliers and newspapers are a surface of existing forms, which serve as starting points for...

My ideas are explored through the process of drawing, painting and photography, and often reference the...

My work can be viewed in the context of psycho-geographical adventures into marginal and semi-abandoned areas. They often lie between or at the edge of the urban environment and...

A major concern within my practice is the maintaining of a dual narrative. As a visual practitioner, it remains that the audience find my work visually accessible in addition to conceptually stimulating. My work is always photographic based, and uses both traditional film and digital systems. Whilst developing a series of work, often the...

I initially start with the question of how much I can ‘work’ a surface. All the works display a multiplicity of marks (scratching, piercing or drawing) which result in surfaces resonant with the prolonged activity of their own deconstruction. I stop working on the paper when it achieves a state of fragility whereby its coherent form would be...

Concepts My work is currently in a state of flux. I am involved in an examination of objects and personal experiences in relation to those objects, which become shared and accessible due to their recognition and subsequent inclusion in museum collections. I am interested in objects which belonged to popular figures in history and I am exploring...

My work is developed as an exploration of, and reaction to a particular situation. I am interested in how both the process and the material influence the creation of the work and that the ‘subject’ is often secondary to these. I am interested in the part technology can play in the production of artworks and how this can be used to...

My practice is versatile and not bound to any definitive subject or medium. I generally start a piece of work with something I've heard, read or written, therefore speech, words or defying language play a pivotal role. Misunderstandings and illusions are also extremely important, they infiltrate my work and frequently layer a sense of the uncanny....

My practice explores the hinterland between Art and science particularly focusing on the relationship between an 'event' and then its subsequent reconstruction' within the gallery space.

IndividualI am interested in spaces and gaps, things that are absent or lost, and use drawing as a way to explore this conscious and unconscious territory. The drawings are constructed by the slow process of layering thousands of graphite pencil strokes onto large sheets of Fabriano paper. Each pencil mark visually records a moment in time and...

My artworks often use words or a combination of text and image; I am intrigued by the ability of words to evoke other senses and call up myriad associations. My work attempts to tap into what might be called a ‘collective cultural imagery’ – the associations and mental images that people carry with them already, that they have...

I work with a wide range of media and processes involving the manipulation of everyday objects and materials.

I create or accentuate subtleties, blurring distinctions between the absurd and the mundane, with the...
