'Descendence' is one of a series of experimental works based around five word prose. These pieces came out of an earlier experiment journaling my private observational thoughts. It took a while to figure out how to convey these observations without being cliched. It wasn't until I began condensing them into five word prose that the idea/s began to make sense, with language limitation honing everything down into clean, concise statement and form. This piece represents the first edition made available for sale, having been included in a 2019 solo exhibition (Failure to Communicate) in Chengdu, China. 'Descendence' makes succinct and simple commentary on a once deeply philosophical society that now finds itself undergoing rapid and expansive development, trading mindfulness for consumerism in abandon. It might also be said to be fair commentary on the contemporary art market... This is a strictly limited screen-print edition of 10. The screen was distressed by hand to give the effect of distortion, and to ensure that only these limited pieces would be available (the screen was subsequently destroyed). I took great care to compose the text in such a way as to present a disorienting effect on the viewer, making it necessary to slow down and take account of what is being said. Something that might perhaps serve us all well... Artist signed, limited edition screen-print (10) using (non reflective matte black) acrylic ink on 300gsm acid free cotton-rag paper.

In 2013 I opened up my first studio/gallery space in China. Working in a variety of media, with a focus on silk screen printing, I began exploring my own working practice, while connecting to and collaborating with a number of artists and creatives in Chengdu City. My personal work in this period spanned multiple mediums including solo/group exhibits and curation of a number of group shows and events (2013-2019). Whichever media/medium I find myself working in, my first intention is always to find ways in which to connect with people in some new way, in an attempt to alter perspectives, both real and imagined. I may also on occasion be looking to provoke, though only ever with the aim of starting a conversation. Communication of ideas is where my personal curiosity lives. My initial works in China centered on iconography, as I sought ways to both empasise and deconstruct the power of recognisable imagery and icon (I was also having fun with people's reactions). As I've continued to experiment, more recent works have centered around language, with a recent exhibit 'Failure to Communicate' (2019) investigating social context bias (Dual Inheritance Theory). I've been very much enjoying the process of honing thoughts and observations down into concise, often prose like structure, transforming these texts into visual, sometimes abstract imagery.
