Title: Kinetic Inventory
Date: 2020
Medium: x10 30second mpeg4 files... Sound on.... Responding to: The Arts Council Collection Inventory for ‘Received Wisdom’
This work combines different sounds in the form of extracts from the Received Wisdom inventory spoken by the computer bots Agnes and Alex with Sound made by the computer program Sound Hole, which translates images within the Received Wisdom inventory into midi files, techniques employed many times by H and M. All Images are from the Received Wisdom inventory but mixed, collaged and pixelated to create a hypnotic sensory overload. Kinetic Inventory if you like fuses Stan Brakhage’s seminal work Mothlight with the raw paintings of Georgia Hayes.
This work looks both back to the days when I made hand made films at the London Filmmakers coop, back to being taught by John Stezaker at the Royal College of Art and forward to the Brave New world of Computer Art. © the artists

Title: The White Man
Date: 2020
Medium: Collage on paper
Responding to: Lubaina Himid, Cotton.com, 2002
The work I produce is a response to the social injustices I see in daily life. My piece ‘The White Man’ reflects on how powerful white men are the reason why so many people suffer. I connect with Lubaina Himid’s practice and her use of patterns to communicate. She is the reason I use repetition within my work.

Title: Digital Impressions
Date: 2020
Medium: Ribbon and wire
Responding to: Hew Locke, Medusa, 2008
Similar to the way that Hew Locke has used cheap, brightly coloured plastic materials to both describe and conceal the traditional image of the Queen, I have used vibrant coloured ribbon to represent the complex structure of the female form. Using a broken three-dimensional body, I am challenging the idea of the simplified two-dimensional images we present as our authentic selves.

Title: Late by the Sea
Date: 2020
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Responding to: Marie Von Motesiczky, Old Lady with Baton, 1977 ‘Late by the Sea’ is one of a series of works exploring the effects of grief on different members of one family. Although grief is a universal experience, it is also one that is often managed and hidden. This is a portrait of a man struggling quietly with grief; the submerging darkness reflects the existential reality of being alone in the moment with feelings of loss, despair and overwhelming sadness. As with Marie Von Motesiczky’s painting of her mother: ’Old Lady with Baton’, which shows the ravages of old age, the act of such close studying of those most familiar to us is a privilege when it reveals their most human and imperfect selves.

Title: Sumatran Orangutan
Date: 2020
Medium: Ink on paper
Responding to: John Newling, Value; Coin, Note and Eclipse, 2011-12
My recent work explores endangered wildlife and environmental damage. I use a mixture of coloured and metallic ink to create paintings which forefront endangered and extinct species. My aim is to draw attention to the preciousness of these animals' existence - an existence that, with continued human interference, will be reduced to only pictures and memories. I felt that John Newling’s pressed and gilded Jersey kale plants, which portray the economic system being represented through the natural world, was very similar to the theme of my work.

Title: Shadow on the River Wear
Date: 2020
Medium: Acrylic and wood on canvas board.
Responding to: Amikam Toren, Received Wisdom, 2006
My work is based upon places in the North-East that have a special meaning to me or are places I go to everyday. ‘Shadow on the River Wear’ depicts a fence and its shadow near the National Glass Centre, University of Sunderland where I study. I hope people will see my work and recognise where it’s from. Both my work and Toren’s explore the relationship between form and content, although mine is more subdued whereas Toren’s is a lot more prominent, which is why I have displayed them together.

Title: One Last Card
Date: 2020
Medium: Foam and thread (multiple hanging pieces)
Responding to: Jo Spence, Beyond the Family Album, 1979
My current practice focuses on contextualising concerns around chronic lung disease. I am exploring the fragility of tissue as I experiment using different materials. This work responds to Jo Spence’s ‘Beyond the Family Album’ and her visual journey through terminal illness – cancer.

Title: Pushing the Boundaries
Date: 2020
Medium: Collage on paper
Responding to: Janet Nathan, Fairway, 2004
I have been influenced by the fact that the works in ‘Received Wisdom’ have been created by artists working in their later years – a category I fit into rather well! It is apparent on viewing the work exhibited that the circle (a form I happen to be concentrating on in my work) appears in numerous works, although for differing reasons to my own. In Janet Nathan’s work ‘Fairway’ I was drawn to the colour, which plays a key part in my own practice, along with the form of the circle.
