I take a logical and atavistic approach to art. I filter the popular media and public opinion, raising notions of false hindsight and the collective consciousness. The power of the media, the intellectual endowment of the ruling elite, and the deconstruction of language have led us to a unique point in history.

Namely the end of a linear consciousness in our self-awareness as society, as the archetypal individual, and of the resultant subjectivism of notions of objectivity.

The social experiment has completed, we as a race must look forward to existing in our proposed futures and archived pasts, as we individually exist in a perceptually enhanced model of what was once described as ‘real time’.

Our faith is that of celebrity and monetary clout, our church is the altar of mass media, our purpose is the avoidance of self-reflection and the analysis of existence beyond the ‘now’, whatever the cost.

Our future is bleak, society is skimming through the proverbial photo album of our collective cultural history; amending, editing, and re-interpreting it through a perceptual mantra of post-modernism, and vice-versa.

My approach to creating art is simple, if the subject at hand is a target for public consciousness, if it is a subject of or delivery system towards a subjective delivery system, I make attempts to redress the balance, and aim to utilise the Internet to engage in a multi-discplinary interpersonal exchange of ideas and actions.
