More artwork available on EBay this weekend.
As usual click on the hypertext below each image or on the image itself and you'll be taken to the bidding zone.

As already explained in this blog my work is often 75 percent reproduction and recombination. I often mix two or three incomplete images into something else.
The above is a mixture of these and these. This image is much bolder and cohesive than the what it derives from - both being more organic with a feeling of movement and also having the text operate much better within the artwork itself - looking less diminished and more interlinked with the image. Making it a new image and a real development and completion of the material used.

The mixture of two or three different types of work - or what I call textures - leads to more complex and interwoven imagery. And the effects can be very free flowing despite collage being quite a sharp edged medium.
I like the fact that through mixing together all the previous unused material I can create new work.
I have loads of materials to use up - about 6 plastic bags and there are likely loads more on a disorganised shelf somewhere.

This image, in contrast to the above mixtures is an old picture found in a folder that I happen to think was good the first time round. I didn't cut it up and mix it with anything else. The image itself is almost like an edifice. Which is perhaps why it's so hard to even try to bother to cut into it. Like cutting into a statue it just feels like vandalism - like it the image isn't a material but complete. Completely complete. These sorts of oddities occur in my artwork every now and again.

Giving my work titles can help towards giving finality and cohesiveness to an image. Like how a person's name can intertwine with a concept of who they are. The image has a good and subdued interplay of colour and monochrome that I should probably utilize more in the future as sometimes I go a bit too far with colour.
When making the above image I was thinking about alien abduction. Brains sucked out through a hyper technical semi organic straw.

A head hollowed out of it's contents and left to wait empty and paralyzed - and then finally all the information is shoved back in again carefully reordered in a disorder. Awake eyes and brain full of buzzing nothing.
