Item Special Note
Artist Statement: (Courtesy of Hang Art Gallery) I use translucent resin as a primary medium in my work to 'sample' moments in time & create evocative investigations of emotion, thought & memory in a type of conceptual freeze-framing. The elements of surprise, wonder & unforeseen beauty are central to my artwork in combination with my desire to convert the commonplace to the sublime. I often expose the microscopic, unnoticed & overlooked elements of places & situations to unveil unimagined beauty & meanings to pique the viewers discovery of new realities. Scientific inquiry of the underlying energy, patterns & processes of nature directs much of my work. My series of 'barcode' works focuses on the ubiquitous barcode of our contemporary consumer-based milieu in combination with microscopic underpinnings of life. Coded into the works through an intricate casting & lamination processes using resin are unexpected embedments encased within the barcodes graphic construct to reveal hidden subtexts & new relationships that create captivating visual paradigms. Wrap around, hand-drawn intricate ink drawings are often added to augment & heighten the intended effect & message of each piece.
