1025 X 768 pixels: I'm working with a subjective combination of diametrically opposite images but the source images are hard to decipher at first sight. I believe that everything in culture has been made and recorded. All that is left now are associations that we make between the things that already exist. The cross pollination of what we have done as people is what is left for us to create with. I embody the historical manner of painting. The tradition of time and labour connects me with the past and the present. Through an experiential act I am associating and connecting the two poles of the earth through my own time as a testament to my physical presence and ontology and to things that will never touch.

As I work, I contemplate my sense of being. I can render anything and the process will break down details of a representation into discrete points of colour that evoke thoughts within me of the concrete limits of fate and the disintegration of physicality.
