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.
