"What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean..."
My creative process is often triggered by a word, such as 'Phusis' coming from the Greek for Nature / the nature of / force of nature. I try to unpack the word through images and forms; I then iterate and edit these, following clues, in the hope of unconcealing some kind of truth which lies beneath image, word, form. Some of my current work stems from a desire to explore my capabilities as a painter and sculptor, but I am not particularly wedded to any medium, I am also excited by the digital and the virtual and am happy to mix whatever approach seems called for.
I am fascinated by future mythologies and frequently surprised by the imagery thrown up in the visual ideation stages, at the start of my process. One theme which persists through the work is Humanity's complex relationships to the machine, in all its forms: from econometrics, to production lines, to AI and transhumanism.
I see this relationship as predicated upon a parallel meta-narrative: a gradually debilitating and addictive relationship between parent and child, or creator and created, with ecstatic highs and gut-wrenching lows, which we are loath to break.
