PROCESS My intention is to disorientate representation by transforming the subtleties of the compositional subject’s combinations and elements, moving beyond representation as I transform source images into new iterations. I intend to achieve this by compositing on the canvas, amalgamating elements to create new worlds in visual effects. Non-representational art does not imply that the image will be devoid of recognisable figuration, but that the amalgamation of the compositional elements should create transformation through sensation, mostly (I propose) through subject matter, message, content, materiality, colour and texture. In this way I hope to explode the traditional meaning and categorisation of the phallocentric model that benefits the male context of existence. It is in this reinterpretation that I hope to exorcise the proponents of oppressive power.
At the core of my creative process, I create “lines of flight” (Deleuze, 1980) that aid the generation of new concepts, original thought, and new ways of making. My ultimate goal is to create innovative reconfigurations of existing materials and images to invoke both an image and a thought beyond representation.
