Artists Statement

'Dis-solutions' is an exhibition which explores the ambiguity of self in contemporary society. I use Mylar film and acrylic paint to explore the fleeting, layered, translucent qualities of the subjective body. My aim is to create a visual field in which the animated “skin” of my paintings occupies a space between dissolution and re-formation. Images hover between multiple identities, ready to dissolve back into the polymer ‘primordial soup’ from which they came. By defying standard image categorizations, the work in this exhibition focuses on identity formation, dissolution and dissolve. Some paintings combine film and canvas, while others are combinations of multiple sheets of film which hang suspended from the wall and project into the social space of the gallery. The suspended works occupy the room as one more skin amongst a limitless series of self projections.
