About The Artwork

Apophenia is the tendency to mistakenly perceive connections and meaning between unrelated things. According to evolutionary psychologists, apophenia is not an error in cognition. It is rather what the human brain is designed for. The tendency to derive connections between seemingly unrelated events or the tendency to derive meaning from random objects or incidents may help warn an individual of impending danger. It is patternicity that helps man make speculations about the near future, predict what may happen, and accordingly decide his course of action. When a person sees a pattern even though it does not exist, it is called false positive or type I error in statistical terms.

Much of my practice centres around contemporary painting, where a variety of mediums and substrates are employed to realise images ranging from figurative to non-representational, abstract works. The ideas underpinning these works too often draw from sources just as varied; such as the sublime, politics, philosophy, religion, mythology and mental disorder. As a multi-disciplinary artist, I have explored these themes in materials such as ceramics and glass, as well as experimenting with digital art, film, sound art and text-based art. However, painting remains the main tenant of my practice. Despite recently completing my BA (Hons) degree in Contemporary Art Practice, I am largely self-taught as a painter, producing a body of work over a thirty-year period. I currently live and work in Glasgow, Scotland.
