Artist statement
My work draws out the invisible forces that make life difficult.
My work is about caring and being angry, as an artist.
It enables me to express feelings about the world around me, to attempt to explain things in a meaningful, yet subjective way, and make complexed information accessible.
Recurrent themes in my work are: human stories, injustices, contentious issues and campaigning. Recently I have been very focused on the financial crisis.
My work is generally in the form of political short stories and drawings. Most of my work is digital, hand-drawn on the computer, or composed by computer programs (I write the code). I make booklets, prints, Net Art, interactive stories and networked performances. My work often has a cartoon or graphic novel feel.
I view my work as social comment or socially engaged art - incorporating aspects of editorial drawings, political cartoons, journalism, satire, social realism, documentary.
My influences and interests include graphic design, street art, pop art, net art, graphic novels, satire, social realism, political documentary and journalism.
