Artist Statement:
In the wake of Duchamp et al,
the 1960s' pop artists blew
away much of the established
rule book about what
constituted 'art' – I took
heart. I am not comfortable
with artificial categories
such as fine art, graphic art,
or craft. In the plane of
two-dimensional imagery, I
guess I'm now somewhere
between photography, graphics
and the digital arts. Pixel
technology suits my thinking
and my range of skills; I have
been described as a polymath.
Technology and art are
inseparable, each sparking off
ideas in the other. Artists
have always been quick to
exploit new technologies,
materials and tools (Dürer and
the printing press; Vermeer
and the camera obscura; Degas
and high speed photography;
Paolozzi and screen-printing;
Donaldson and acrylic paint;
Hockney and Polaroids;
Hamilton and the electronic
Quantel Paintbox).
For me, new art has to be
original. I believe the
product says something about
the artist, if only that
he/she was kowtowing to the
establishment or prostituting
their talents or just needing
to earn a crust. How the
viewer interprets the artefact
is another matter; the artist
has limited control over that.
Essentially art comprises the
acts of conceiving and
executing the artefact ...
