Statement
My art as a whole is most easily classed as 'wall sculpture' although
this covers a range of techniques from extended installations to
digital projection and machined artefacts. With some of the early
work there was an intention to assemble completely new materials,
the essential properties of which could only be guessed at by the
optical presence of their surfaces.
The latest works I am involved with are the 3D anaglyphs containing
imagery gathered from forgotten or polluted landscapes. These anaglyphs
are created from photographs taken of parts of the landscape devoid
of planetary identification. The original idea came from images
returned from the Mars Lander spacecraft and its rover. Converting
them into 3D format adds an extra dimension but also a disorientation
as to which represents the more familiar experience. They exist
as images in themselves but also form source material for installation
and project work.
A readiness to draw false assumptions from only half perceived
visual stimulus is an important part of my working process and something
I enjoy presenting to people in the form of these material objects.
