Many Truths
These works have a basis in my thesis on a new duality when looking at Jeff Wall’s photographic fictional works.
At speed, using C.S Peirce's semiotic theory, Maurice Merleay-Ponty’s phenomenology of perception and Henri Bergson’s theory of time, matter and memory we begin to uncover a new genre of artwork that sits between film, photography and painting/drawing.

I intend for each piece to be a pure memory painted ‘locally’.

Potential
An exploration into the idea of ‘potential’ energy through the study of Vilhelm Hammershøi’s scenes of doorways. This then developed conceptually through research into Julien Berthier and Simon Boudvin’s door, James Casabere’s internal spaces and Piero Manzoni’s readymades for sale.
As well as the below works I conducted various performance art pieces where I put up and monitored various ‘wanted’ posters; a birthday (for sale), a date (lost), shortness (for sale) and hours of sleep (to let). What’s left are documented photographs of the signs during their first week and conversations of interested parties.
