Artists Statement
"My work strives to create a particular effect through the re-contextualization of various images, taken largely from anachronistic photography and re-interpreted through the medium or either oil paint, watercolour or etching. Images that are distanced by time and corrupted through manipulation produce an effect both of familiarity and uncertainty, and the sometimes subtle, but often-incongruous liberties taken with the manipulation of source material produces an appearance of narrative, yet explains nothing. This is in order to leave the options open, and invite the viewer to speculate and deduce their own interpretation of the work and the multiple meanings on offer."
