Blue Moonscape

This is part of a new series of works about other worlds and landscapes as yet beyond the reach of most humans, save for the glimpses we are shown via high technology. As new information about these places becomes available, this is one attempt to process it in relation to human life on Earth, all that most of us have ever known. This is based on a Moonscape, but also refers to the encampments of displaced humans on Earth today, and suggestions of elements of life through various 'windows'.

Beast Unburdened (film still)

This is a painting of two layers relating to the experience and limitations of communication via Skype. The shadowy 'figure' is trapped behind a screen, obscured by the pointillist/divisionist dots of light. The colours suggest a nocturnal view, dominated by orange, which reflects of the ubiquitous colouring of the sodium vapour streetlamp.
