This Veritable Mess of Appetite was a project based around automatic writing.
Whilst unlocking some subconscious connections and holding them up to scrutiny, many of the pages have holes in them revealing sections of words and letters, turning this into both a conceptual and physical analysis and excavation of the headspace and a physical, sculptural piece with sculptural concerns.
I am fascinated by geometric abstract forms that act as all encompassing statements. The problem however lies in that these are often utopian fictions that deny reality as much as they try to make sense of it. The problem, I believe, is one of balance. The key is to find a dialogue between order and chaos, without falling into utopian fallacy. We need order – but we also need the anarchic. A touch of imperfection makes a transient thing of purity and genius. It is this that I constantly search for.
