A fascination with the dystopian tale has inspired this body of work as part of an on going project exploring my own questions of our collective future. Drawings photography and collected images from a multitude of contemporary and historical sources are used to formulate paintings, which are worked onto a range of found surfaces including wood canvas and steel. This removal of complete control over images and surfaces reinforces the ambiguous and fractured narrative within the paintings to create a tense uncertain atmosphere, reflective of the feelings and concerns of what lies ahead.
