Two degrees from Obama #2 Print

B.1972 Northumberland, UK My work explores the relationship between acquired synesthesia and emotional memories. With influences as diverse as Wittgenstein and John Cage, new combinations are synthesised from both orderly and random textures. Ever since I was a pre-adolescent I have been fascinated by the unrelenting divergence of meaning. What starts out as triumph soon becomes finessed into a carnival of futility, leaving only a sense of what could have been and the prospect of a new understanding. As shifting derivatives become frozen through frantic and critical practice, the viewer is left with a clue to the limits of our existence.
