This recent work deals in part with the fantasy world of the imagination as a means of alleviating boredom and confinement (I started this project when employed as a car park attendant in an attempt to relieve the tedium of a 12 hour shift). This mechanism is a complex part of human desire: the capacity to construct the grotesque and phantasmagorical in moments of sensory deprivation. The cups, paper bags and travel card receipts form part of a decentred practice which involves large paintings on paper, expansive wall painting installations incorporating the architectural elements around it and making books of previous projects.
