As a painter my practice may appear at first glance to engage the ancient technologies of mark making and colour deployment. However, my work represents a unique fusion of old and new technologies – one that adapts and adopts new technology to inform the age-old process of applying media to a surface; I make use of redundant communication technologies and languages, employing visual and other media – digital images, photocopying, scanning and collage to realise images. The image is retrieved and reused, separated from its original context and meaning and combined with adapting/using contemporary technology as a layer or screen, annotated with my own hand.
