Lures for the Land-locked (Beware of Savage Hooks)Installation
2018
My work aims to reconcile and clash belief systems like science and the supernatural. Sometimes I try to fuse beliefs about life, death and the afterlife with contemporary science. I search to locate mythologies like ‘progress’ within the history of science and make religious imagery scientific.
I am very curious about the ground where science and ethics intersect, and I am intrigued by the way in which aesthetics and morality can collide.
Use of the ‘traditional’ medium of watercolour is deliberate - I can draw a surprising edge out of this relatively unexplored media.
I seek parity between the technical developments in my work and the ideas they serve.
