artist's statement:
Through my work I explore the use of line and texture, the relationship between digital manipulation and traditional processes. Allowing both aspects to develop intuitively, and evolve into one complete piece.

Expanding on themes of a self created urban mythology explored through several different mediums, my work investigates familiar and recognisable themes. However these concepts are often displaced within my work into unfamiliar settings and individuals.

The individuals that appear in my work are in essence a distillation of human elements. Emotions, diseases, concepts and so forth are collected and formed into a single being.

The filth that is present within my work is a vital component. The individuals are transient, but “The Grot” is permanent, spreading itself over everything. The Grot can be achieved with both traditional and digital processes, each providing a certain aesthetic that would be impossible otherwise.

I believe that art should be for everyone as everyone is capable of art, but it is the inclination to create that is the most important aspect.
