His art is concerned with the use ofmachines in the production of an
artwork. With our culture becomingmore and more engaged with new
technologies, his work questions the
implications of handing over control ofan artwork to a mechanical device.
With the actions of any machine theresult of human intention, he uses
machines to allow chance to enter the
creative process, exploring ideassurrounding authorship, consciousness
and interaction. He allows his tools tocreate their marks and record its
action in a physical way on to thecanvas. Currently his work is
concerned with painting process as theperformance aspect of the production
of an artwork, exploring therelationship forged between materials,
aesthetics and perception acrosscultures. He uses machines/technology
to allow paintings to make themselvesin order to further remove the hand of
the artist. Once set in motion he oftenremoves himself from the studio and
painting process.

Poem of the Month:
Persona
I lay.Decomposingin a shell of tradition
of societal circumstance.
The guidance I seek,
unbridled desperation,comes at me
as a staggering horse.I am but a shadow in it's presence,
I wear my veil of shame.At times, though,
I rip it off in proclamation.
I am getting better.
How can you betray me?
All that I am?Declare my love is wrong?
I do not have a lying tongueI do not fan the fires of hatred.
I do not partake in evil.Yet I have this malediction
by words of strangers who are dust.
I am fragmented and devoid
Yet I am livid.
I stand in the doorway of my confusionand will remain until there are no more
days.
