I did finally begin to realise what some of the pieces where about though, for example - My piece 'End Reel with Splicing Tape' was created to experiment with the notion of aesthetics within filmic media. Who decides what is beautiful? Isn't it meant to be in the eye of the beholder? Rather than focusing on the message I prefer to locate the medium within film or video footage. These canvases represent a window onto a filmic technological world unseen.
'The Picture House Series', represents an ongoing piece of work that looks objectionably onto the world of projection environments, mainly in the cinematic arena. These photographic prints have received no technological editing of any sort, they are as seen on the day they were taken. This is my response to Dziga Vertov's notion of the 'kino-glaz', an objective cinematic eye.
