I believe that everyone to various extents are spectators observing their own lives, a perpetual motion machine like the moon observing the Earth. One observation of mine, is that England is a country of self defeating people, who reject ambition, risk and drive. One of my motives for making art is a rejection of this ingrained apathy, but recently I have began exploring my own roots within my art and have learned to be fascinated with the place i have always considered boring - that being the culture and heritage that I come from in Northern England. Through my work I not only explore class but also religion, crime, psychology and heritage - which are topics spectactors may choose to consider when viewing my work. I would like people to see my art as translations of my lived obersvations, and hopefully they see aspects of their own lives too, causing introspection. I wish to pay respect and critique my own heritage as it guides me, and many others, into uncertain futures.
