This sculpture was inspired by the linocut of the same name - Famous Ghost Ships. This compared the Mar Celeste to the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger, which blew up on take off. We have a media swarm of 'disaster' and mourning for the crew. Yet it turned out that almost all the crew of Challenger are alive and well. I use the warhorse because of its link to the ancient world, particularly by the Greeks. The old world fell to the new, brought about by Christianity - now despised, yet never conquered. The sculpture has not joined properly underneath, can be viewed on photos, this however has not made it prone to breaking.

I use recurring themes based upon my own perceptions of the world we live in.Realism can feature in my work sometimes but i'm generally driven by abstraction. The process has to be enjoyable, quick and not labored. Creative play forms a large part of the artworks. I was influenced by Picasso's 'unlearning' process of imitating child like drawing. What are we trying to say as an artist is something crucial to the work. My theme is generally focused on 'trust' and 'deception'. I'm traditional in the sense that I like the 'format' of painting, print and sculpture. My style evolved from splicing contrasts together, Id make a stencil, push some acrylic through it instead of spray. Then Id paint over them so that they became partially lost in the painting. This was to recreate a visual way of showing how things are hidden. In the same way our body has an inward working of lungs and the intestines. Also how in the world there are things obscured within events. These events draw our attention but the surface of them hides something deeper. So the work in its composition conveys hidden things, sometimes I'll use childish imagery to obscure something sinister. I might do this to show how a simple way of thinking hides something more complicated. Its complexity could be intimidating. There are lots of allegorical meanings too, I might show a thorny rose for example. This would indicate good and evil. You might be intrigued as to why Id write ' life and death' on a lion's tongue? This would show the power of the tongue.
