STATEMENT
My practice is built on a sequence of perceived ideas about the intangible aspects of the human structure. Exploring the juncture between conceived realities of the physical body and deeper sensory instincts about what may lie beneath. I am inspired by a search for this truth via the fractal patterns found within the infinite structures present in natural forms.
Seeking an aesthetic of the eternal over the temporal, the anatomical design itself takes on the function of an encrypted formula which rests at the point of harmony and convergence; poised to reveal the universal infrastructure of the "architect" fused within unconscious perception and the blueprint of every existing body.
Working in the medium of painting and draughtsmanship each image is composed by using a montage of component figurative studies. Simplified into pure linear form and interwoven to produce an otherwise unseen structural design behind the recognisable anatomy. Upon this geometrically perfect apparatus an infinite variety of perpetually interchanging forms serve to reveal a single entity.
