Shock and sensationalism characterize the better-known British artists of the present day. There is however another trend, one which leans towards quietude and self-reflection. And it is in relation to this tendency that my work can be understood. What underlies it is the belief that pictures and words communicate with us in significantly different ways. Perhaps the most useful way of thinking about them is as ‘mute’ images. By this it is not intended to mean that they fail to communicate but rather that they are hesitant. They communicate after lapses and through silences.

What ties these bodies of work together (drawings, paintings, photography, installation) is an interest in entropy, that “…irreversible tendency of a system toward increasing disorder and inertness”.. Referencing ideas explored in contemporary American literature (Pynchon, Burroughs, Delillo), these works engage, in one way or another, with this most contemporary – and American – of concerns.
