ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This work is an ornate, constructed metamorphosis consisting of social hierarchies which is reminiscent of the gaps between necessity and desire, practicality and fiction. The work deploys the use of encaustic and one-point perspective as collapsing the past and present to use allegory as a form of live-action or real-time role-play between the felines and humans. The work deploys private symbols as a way to frame and transform reality. As temporal derivatives become distorted through diligent and critical practice, the viewer is left with a testament to the inaccuracies of our era. My seven year old son was fascinated by a curious cat near our swimming pool and this inspired me to paint a colourful rendition of the cat The eyes of the cat were quite chatoyant and reminded us of a gem.

My avant-garde work explores the relationship between the universality of myth and Jungian archetypes. Some of my work also explores the relationship between pre-Raphaelite tenets and multimedia experiences which brings out a hegemony of greed and a sense of nihilism. With influences as diverse as Derrida and Roy Lichtenstein, new synergies are distilled from both dialogues which mundanely constructed and transcendentally structured. From the time I was a pre-adolescent, I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of the universe and by the essential unreality of meaning and existence. What starts out as triumph soon becomes corrupted into a dialectic of defeat, leaving only a sense of decadence and the inevitability of a new order with a cacophony of futility. As subtle derivatives and spatial momentary forms become distorted through emergent and personal practices, the viewer is left with a tribute to the outposts of our cultural era and with a hymn to the possibilities of our existence shaped by insights into the inaccuracies of our worldly existence in the matrix.
