I am fascinated by the vast
and complex world of the small,
almost
inconceivable
beauties
of natural
phenomena.
The
exploration
of my materials, it’s forms and formations is a reflection of this fascination. A visual
technology
that has been in development for over 20 years. The
phenomenality
of this technology is akin
to the
study
of
geologic laws, echoing
the birth of planets, landscapes
or
relicts
of landform deposits. A
practice
that,
albeit
in miniature, generates layers
of
sculpture in an endless variety of complex configurations. These so called ‘configurations’ often appear to be found or collected, but they are in fact, entirely hand-made, conceived and constructed in the studio using analogue imaging techniques.
Scale_From the microscopic, or cellular scale, to the macro- or cosmic, each series manifests itself on different scales, oscillating between often paradoxical perspectives. Looking at the work, the viewer hovers either an inch, or a few hundred feet above the subject, continually moving through various layers and thus a multitude of narratives.
This particular notion of scale, or loss of scale, is part of the very foundations of my practice. A process of unmaking, where associations are disconnected, relayed and re-connected, being both curiously familiar and strangely remote.
