My work explores the relationship between new class identities and midlife subcultures.

With influences as diverse as Kierkegaard and Francis Bacon, new combinations are generated from both explicit and implicit layers.

Ever since I was a student I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of relationships. What starts out as triumph soon becomes corroded into a hegemony of power, leaving only a sense of nihilism and the chance of a new beginning.

As temporal phenomena become clarified through emergent and personal practice, the reader is left with a statement of the edges of our era.

Readers can create their own statements– for use in funding applications, exhibitions, curriculum vitae, websites, and the like– at Arty Bollocks Generator (an entry on the 10K Apart Challenge— in which developers built apps like this one in less than 10 kilobytes).

As we plan our next retreats, we might recall that it was on this date in 1978 that UNICEF named the rock group Kansas “Deputy Ambassadors of Goodwill.”  (Music historians have mused that, had the band operated with the benefit of a compelling artistic mission statement, they might well have joined the likes of Summer Sanders and Tami Erin as full Ambassadors.)
