Artist Statement

My work is about resource musing, particularly as image monger and scavenger. I recreate images from appropriated material either through slight edits, or a total recall of the pictorial structure. Recent narrative and content, or thematic matter follows a metaphysical journey into time, alternate realities, channel wisdom and other mysterious subjects, journeying into the world of instability and urban pleasures. The concept behind most of the research is to elicit the response and reaction as one of pleasure and entertainment, bemusement and ambiguity.
