I am an artist who works in video and audio and my work speaks about current issues within a post modern society. I continually deliberate about how seduced I am by this condition, of which I am, unavoidably, a product. The only aspect of my life which seems to be real is the way my children play with objects and transform them into alternative subjects, with the ability to avoid their original purpose. This is where I gain inspiration to produce my own work, using fun recognizable objects and reworking them to portray complex current issues. The idea spaceman and white noise has come from my children falling asleep whilst the video recorder has ended in their bedroom producing this flat sound.

Space Man commissioned by the Arts Council of Wales.

Stills from Space Man - "Exploration 1"

                             

The final film will be projected onto three screens in a triangular format accompanied by 5.1 surround sound using various forms of organic white noise ( of which I am currently recording) 

                              

                                       

 

Spaceman is a metaphor of how society blinds us with mediocrity and is an attempt to question this action, of which we are continually seduced.
