Creating half-remembered post-modern landscapes from a childhood lost in Utopian dreams. The place of the threshold: the space between here and there

The Triumph of Momentum

Acrylic on Canvas. 1 metre x 1 metre.

Recent work focuses on the liminal state that results from social and class conventions we’re conditioned to inhabit – the ambiguous state of transition between social, political and personal norms. This state of anomie, interpreting emotional effects of social disadvantage, is recorded in a visualisation of the ‘threshold’; constructing staged settings from memories and a visualisation of situations; using figures in landscape to create an imaginary voyeuristic experience.

The Book of The Dead painting was selected by the Saatchi site as a purchasable print.
