Inspired by the decorative shapes affixed to the side of an ex Soviet power station, where the materials of its creation were found. The decorative shapes of the building appeared akin to religious iconography, running the length of the building. In one sense in direct contrast to the aesthetics the atheist ideology championed. While at the same time quite poignant, as the engineering of heavy industry became almost quasi religious under that ideology. Icon displays cut, broken and bonded wood, painted black and gold, in homage to both the coal fired power station used as inspiration, and the deeply ingrained iconography of the past.

"I focus on the smaller picture, detail is an impulse, this has been so for as long as I remember. The texture of rock, wood or concrete, in the panorama. The sound of a distant something, glimpsed between the howl of the of the wind or the blast of traffic, has always been an inspiration. My work comes from the rubbings of floors, walls, paper, wood & stone, the scraping of paint, delicate cuts to wood, hands-on things that dry my skin, many of which are then manipulated digitally. Formed from a passion in experimentation, in dirt, dust and noise. From the other, the unexpected unruly anomaly being allowed to find it's way between the herald of the bigger picture." I have been creating visual works since around 2003, initially alongside music and later alongside writing and sculptural forms. Currently based in Berlin, many early works are lost to time and space in Bristol, London and Wales. Long form ambient music from my musical aliases, are available here: https://theanatomistberlin.bandcamp.com And here: https://verynervoussystems.bandcamp.com
