In the centre is the image.
On its surface, the result of the process.
In its heart, the essence of the idea.

My work revolves around image based media: photography, film and video, digital art, installation, projections, printmaking.

In broad terms, there are two main veins of my artistic work: (1) the so-called ‘straight forward photography’ (which unfolds into the commercial domain and fine art and which also includes film making) and (2) research based site-specific projects.

These categories as one would expect are not so clear-cut, however each is defined by very particular processes.

FACE THE FACELESS – SLAPHEAD ....EXHIBITION DETAIL

Generally speaking, we are all born bald, a clean page on which your own story can be written. Initially everyone has anonymity until you choose otherwise. I find it is an interesting process to turn day-life situations into images and study these thoughts from a bird’s eye view. A bird can see things that others cannot. Slaphead takes the viewer through a journey of simple activity from walking the dog to studying fish and drinking wine. For those people that know me personally, you may see that part of myself is reflected in the work. The question you need to ask is whether a bald man can be anonymous or the very fact that he is bald is the one thing that makes him stand out.

Non identity, unnamed, whose name is not known or not given, indistinctive, lacking individuality or distinctiveness term for a bald person, especially a man who has gone bald naturally rather than a man who has shaved his head by fashion choice.
