ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This is the go to place when you stay in Ensenada for the genuine Mexican Lullaby. The sign was a beautiful thing. The paint was flaking back for the galvanised facade. The galv was starting to rust. More than half the light bulbs were missing and the neon was peeling back from the facade. When you arrive in Ensenada without accommodation, you try almost anything. What possessed us to try that is a bit puzzling. Curiosity perhaps. We got the full rundown of amenities, daily room service, clean sheets and pillow cases, air conditioning, cable tv with 24 channels of prone. It was about this point I stopped the proprietor. I had heard enough of the list of amenities; however, he was not having it. He resumed the list, with the bar fidge, a through breakdown of the free complementaries in the bathroom. Salubrious, it was not, but who cared after a night at Papas n Beer and Hussongs round off by alcohol fuelled sex back at the “Siesta Inn Motel”. That is the best lullaby.

My work questions popular and prevailing perceptions, conceptions about our own world view and our own New Zealand story; to look under the  rug, to see the shadows, to ingest the popular and unpopular, the familiar and the unfamiliar - to confront the message that we want to just drive by. My work is deeply rooted in Americana - a popular culture wasteland that seeps and leaks its way into New Zealand culture. I extract design elements from the street and put them into the Gallery space, I call this practice, Signtology.
