About The Artwork

Pieta examines the contradiction often found between a deeply religious Christian faith in America and it's overwhelming embrace of gun violence and Capital punishment. The word Pieta itself translates to pity or compassion, but just as Jesus is removed from Mary, all pity and compassion are also removed. As a consequence, Christ is left alone to the indifference of a pitiless executioner, while Mary is shown lamenting the weapons of violence rather than the victims, much like the way gun use is defended after such atrocities. The work is a diptych and is unframed to allow for individual preference, be it as two seperate panels, or one larger piece.

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.
