Splice Series
2013 – ongoing
The Splice Series is part of an ongoing body of work splicing together the found, the iconic and the created. The original, low-grade, found images are recycled and reconstituted. Parts of the original 'text' - including imagery - survive the alteration but become part of a more ambiguous, complex repository of ideas and narratives. The use of acrylic, oil and watercolour paint are transparently thin allowing the various layers or systems/signs to infiltrate/negotiate each other. As the title suggests, different messages, different time periods, different forms of communication are spliced together/interwoven creating space for reflection. One dominant narrative/system doesn’t exist. The context is the key to the text.
