STATEMENT

As a big fan of William Burroughs, Dada, Surrealism and experimental tape music, I began applying the cut up techniques in collages to my own work. I’m interested in the juxtaposition of images to assess our perceptions of appearance, decay, destruction and death.

Work is completed with rudimentary products and sources, with a focus on driving through ideas and continuing to test and develop my own style. Motivation and inspiration comes from both the collage work of others as well as more obscure sources such as pictures, film, conversation and dreams.

BIO

I’m a London-based artist and self-publisher primarily working with old magazines, photocopier distortion and card, as well as the occasional use of paint and other mixed media. Recent works have utilized sources ranging from war, ancient architecture and sculpture, the occult and anatomy. I run the Input Error website focused on distributing new collage artist publications and am interested in collaborating and meeting with like minded artists.
