This work is about barriers real or perceived. The content features a walking figure motif, a picture plane of a Punch and Judy tent is abstractly flat, slightly modulated, out of which is cut a remembered urban view linked by steps. The scale and proximity of the steps grid and figure are a dialogue of elements which explore how we translate our experience new and old into a sense of now. My studio practice engages elements of translation, concepts of fidelity, equivalence and departure relative to idioms. The painting is a juncture of figurative and abstract visual conventions, an opportunity for new narrative, a sense of ennui or finite moments or monumentalism. References are Walter Benjamin's “Much Ado About Kasper” and the work of Radio Fragola Gorizia (Trieste, Italy), and there work relating to mental health. I am interested in art which has duality, in this case reference Benjamin’s exploration of surveillance and complicity which have a strange contemporary resonance for me regarding self worth and our relationship with fictitious social media presences.
