Wallowing

‘Wallowing’ consisted of new work researching the relationships between biology, nature and technology. Twenty-three exhibited works specifically addressed these issues in relation to questions around creative identity, repetition, perception and language.

In the video installation ‘For The Greenman’ the affect of the aural in manipulating how we see and interpret the visual was directly explored.

In the work ‘There Is Always Wind In A Tree Somewhere Everyday All The Time’ a single word repeats outwards from a center point in all cardinal directions of the compass. Using the repetition of language to reveal visual patterns defined by the shape of letters and length of words, the work questions the affects of apophenia within written language.

In ‘g’ the repeating of a single letter becomes an investigation into the space of the finite and infinite within concepts of the technological, as well as questioning what happens when forces such as weight and gravity take on poetic and mysterious sensibilities.

The exhibition was reviewed in the international art press including Frieze and Art Review, and artwork from the exhibition was acquired by the Scholl Collection, Miami and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, leading to subsequent showings at both MoMA and World Class Boxing, Miami. Some of the work has also been shown in exhibitions in Spain, Wales and the UK. The investigations of this body of work led to opportunities to exhibit work at the David Roberts Art Foundation, Timothy Taylor Gallery and the ICA along side works by Pierre Huyghe, Pablo Picasso, Robert Rauschenberg, Marcel Duchamp, Philip Guston, Elizabeth Price and Francis Picabia among others. I have also given talks about the works including at the ICA, CSM, and Norwich University of the Arts.
