Artists Statement "I am a figurative painter. My work is sourced from personal archives- some mine, some from others. These fragmented encounters then become a recovery operation of sorts, a continuation of a process that begins with the transfer of salvaged super 8 film, "rescued" to VHS and then digitised to dv format. The compressed, degenerated digital image becomes the object that I paint. As each medium of record deteriorates, the act of painting becomes another phase in the futile attempt to make permanent that which is fleeting and transitory. These works are not intended to be nostalgic glimpses of an Arcadian idyll, rather to acknowledge the terminal and irreversible nature of time.”
