Static: 2/23 (b) Print

Born 1970, Beverley, East Yorkshire, England. My work, directly or indirectly, has always been related to the natural environment; space, time and memory, moving from one point of focus and concept to another, with a subsequent shift of process, approaches and mediums; from conceptual site-specific installations to drawing and painting approaches. Yet, whilst employing these traditional approaches and use of mediums, I will often investigate processes, techniques and surface qualities; fusing oil paint and water-based materials together and incorporating digital technologies with traditional approaches ie Lidar and oil painting. The word 'Static' is a bit of an oxymoron, it can mean lacking in movement, action, or change, but it can also be used in reference to electrical signals of radio frequency, a crackling or hissing noise, moving and vibrating image or sound of varying pitch and tone. This word, for me, conveys that sense of stillness and movement, that is all around us and within us, that is happening all at once.
