….. or ‘Time to Shout Quietly’ speaks of the ongoing intra-active becomings that occur between the artistic subject, and explorations of identity.
The conceptual work for which I am more usually known commonly incorporates my own hands and eyes or even alludes to unseen MRI imagery. as I seek to speak of human-fungal connectivity. However, these pieces also subtlety reference the personal identity of the artist whilst never fully revealing a sense of self – the same sense of self that is seen to emerge through an ongoing series of self-portraits that consider personal and artistic identity through an almost  introspective study of the  intra-actions between the art, artistic materials and the artist.

The self-portrait series initially began simply as an attempt to learn portraiture to enable me to re-create a childhood portrait drawn by the artist Robert Lenkiewicz.  The intent was to simply have the sitter and the artist together – a deeply personal project which has now evolved into, and perhaps even beyond, the description above.
