This recent series of paintings attempt to link where my imagination meets the televisual world of current affairs. Newscasters from the screen, like mediums who channel knowledge between two worlds, transmit information directly into the domestic space. They embody a place where the event and its perception collide in a strange phantasmagorical dance.
It is these fleeting transmissions that are stained onto the canvas. I focus on the frequency itself where events are reported and analysed; which produces a strange currency of awareness. Depicting the actual event becomes superfluous. Long after the information has expired, only a residual image is left. In short, it is an inverted approach to history painting where the story is lost in a glitch of context and only an alien image remains.
I completed an MFA at Goldsmiths in 2002.
