Artist Statement
I am an Australian artist working in a variety of combined media, including print, collage, digital methods, painting and drawing. An interest in language and science also inform my work.
My work is the product of a method that attempts to navigate and dismember the information that is embedded within an image. By breaking something down to it’s base components and dragging them through a process that follows a formulated logic, he seeks to create something organic. The deconstructed components of the source images, themselves pieces of collected data, start to reflect maths-based systems like entropy, chaos and confluence, and act as much as a map of experience and social movement as an exercise in navigating imagery. In my practice I collect and assemble visual artefacts, in the mode of visual layers, either printed, collaged or painted, in order to construct a sediment-like picture of a life lived, whether measured in days, years, or eons
