Ride Me ( I watched a man make love to a blow-up doll whilst he called it donkey ) Drawing

Drawing, painting and sculpture as a material interrogation of the body - human and non-human forms are dismembered, disorganised, bastardised and re-presented as insatiably desiring, viscerally maniacal being-machines. Driven by my interest in the potency of visceral experience, my practice exists as an intimate examination of the emergence of subjectivity brought about by transfigurative encounters with other forms and forces. I've become increasingly curious about how the rhythm of flesh and the rhythm of contemporary (digitised) life are at odds and how this sensual disharmony manifests itself in, on and through bodies. The resolved, surreal works seek to offer a sense of the strangeness of our current aesthetics, the ineffability of visceral experience and the limitless possibilities of the body as a site of violent actualisation.
