Many of my works utilise screen-printing techniques. I enjoy the notion that in screen-printing all three dimensional form is flattened in an instant. It is this idea that flourishes throughout my work unrestricted by the mediums used. For example, when casting concrete or painting plastics, I employ similar application techniques found in...

Society is defined by the cultural restraints decreeing what is either acceptable, or objectionable. Adaption,...
