Statement

This current body of work aims to operate around the subconscious, and discusses themes of memory, nostalgia, dreams and desire. The starting reference often comes from pre existing VHS footage, Film, found imagery, or my own - which is then edited further or collaged to create narrative. 

 

I believe Vhs is reminiscent of the home movie, tapping into a shutter - click moment in time. Glitches and colour distortion act as a disruption in my work – nodding to vague and imperfectness of the minds image - and bodies, silhouettes and places appear as something fleeting and most important to the psyche.  The work aims to tap into the reverie like state one would find themselves in; fantasising, dreaming or recalling hazy snippets of experiences.  

 

How to render the image also comes with the aim of depicting malfunctions within the digital, 
highlighting a resistance to new technologies. The grainy, dream like qualities of film help redact information, alluding to the absent details perhaps lost in thought, whilst challenging different modes of painting.
