If you want to see what i wrote about the interesting theme of order/disorder in relation to my click (here)
Scrase_Spiritualisation_boxed neon and vodka sticker_2009-2010
This an old work made new.
I will be showing at the Sub Station, i have included my artist statement and work description to give an insight.
Title:
Spiritualisation?
Artist statement:
Transformation; that is one word that I think ties my broad practice together: I have called it alchemy, but I think it is more like play. A lot of my practice has involved reconfiguring multiple found objects (elevating materials to another level), but I started moving beyond the materials around me; I stared doing peculiar things such as staring at my shadow for an hour (seeing if I can personally transcend) or attempting to start a subtle revolution at a music festival (change on a Meta society level).
It is my belief that society needs to make some drastic changes in a very short time frame if we hope to be able to deal with a large number of challenges that seem to be exponentially looming. I think it is arts time to recharge, generate change and shine the way.
Work description:
The large boxed neon artwork I am showing was originally designed for the façade of the Linden Centre for Contemporary Art. It was part of a show titled: The Sublimation and Spiritualisation of Solids, which is a description of the aims of alchemy. I placed it on the front of the gallery as a sort of question; asking the passer by to contemplate the role of art in society.
For this exhibition I have lowered the neon to human level (both physically and theoretically), so that it now asked how can/does the viewer experience the ‘Infinity effect’.

SYMMETRICAL SPIRIT GUIDES AND FRACTAL ALCHEMY, August 2009
I thought I would start this blog from my first show at John Buckley Gallery. Tai Snaith wrote a very generous essay for the show; it is probably a good place to start if you want to get a grasp of what I do.
19 August - 5 September 2009
