from time to time i get asked to send a short bio about my work for publishers or journalists explaining what i do, like most designers i find this really difficult to do without writing a lot of nonsense, finally i have a proper artists statement, here goes:
…my work explores the relationship between emerging sexualities and recycling culture. With influences as diverse as Nietzsche and John Cage, new combinations are generated from both simple and complex layers. Ever since I was a student I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of relationships. What starts out as vision soon becomes debased into a hegemony of greed, leaving only a sense of what could have been and the possibility of a new beginning. As spatial forms become transformed through emergent and critical practice, the viewer is left with a statement of the edges of our future…
what do you think? why not try and write some arty bollocks for yourself, it is really easy and definitely a load of bollocks…
