| My art
practise aims to capture the disturbance to surfaces created
by acts of joy riding and arson by zooming into scorched,
disfigured vehicle parts that are occupied in the lifecycle
of corrosion, the natural process that tries to reclaim
human made objects to an elemental state more in line
with the energy of the molecules the objects are made
of. |

| Torching accelerates
this journey of returning to the earth and I look to capture,
investigate and at times distort results of the advancement
of its lifecycle. Using results of the explosion; scorched
metal, molten glass, fabrics, and plastics, the rust and
the gallons of water from the firemen's hose I strive
to turn a negative blot on the landscape using technology,
photography and oil paint to transform the textual image
into a positive beautiful landscape. |
