Upcoming Exhibition

When open to chance, there’s a danger one could miss all options available. Or perhaps, the process becomes an exercise in negation. Anything will do. I’m not interested in that either. To thread a sense of logic, the pin should be sharp and loaded with a metaphysical trust. Each page, front and back becomes non-linear – it’s potential is interchangeable, to abandon the hierarchy of linear thought opens doors. My paintings are nomadic – I court them to fit outside time.
       When you wake in the same room, are you in a different one? Art is for the people of tomorrow. A sour tongue says these are the records of our future ruins – like the Voyager probes, out floating in unimaginable chaos, beyond the Kuiper belt and loaded with the detritus of our past lives – motorways, hamburgers, aeroplanes. Maybe today is a broken mirror for tomorrow, waiting, yet to be formed.


       Put decency out into the internet –


       Time is circular.


If I were a machine, I wouldn’t eat bile.
