The work can be decoded in different ways, which is unique to each viewer. The information is shorthanded but not all of it is important. Work being reproduced in this manner tricks the viewer into thinking the work is meaningful.
Planetary Cycles and Ice Ages
Elements of the work could be considered a kind of pseudoscience, the theorisation of unanswerable questions in science. In the context of painting I am interested in two key elements: The composition of materials and the textual discursive affects in terms of diagrams, text and organising text. Together these form the semiotics of my work and have an affect on the viewer.

A new collection.
Drawing Information
The nature of the work is forms of consolidating information. This method of making work makes information more efficient by creating a shorthand version. I use gathered information like found objects, recomposing them onto canvas in a shorthanded version until the visual qualities are realised. I continue to paint until the act of painting takes over at which point I become much more interested in the form of the written language.
