Title: Still Life with Technology

My continuing fascination with technology is the inspiration for this ‘Still Life with Technology’ project. Technology is the application of science by us as human beings to ease, prolong, or take life. I want to engender a sense of wonder and achievement in the incredible expertise we have in the creation of, for example, nuclear power, the Internet, or the Hoover Dam; there is a thrill to the subject matter, almost a feeling of excitement and foreboding in terms of its scale and function. I want to reflect this feeling of awe by creating 4 large-scale material panels. I also want to encompass the incredible ironies that the technology we develop often has, as multiple applications emerge from the same basic science, some are without doubt amazing, and some are utterly awful. Take centrifugal force as an example - it is possible to juxtapose a cotton candy machine with IR-4 gas centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium; both use centrifugal force.

Creative Experience 

Creativity and making has been a key activity from an early age. I do read, I love reading, but my default state is to draw, and to make. I think visually, not numbers or words, or with a view to create order. I create the world I am happy in and want to express that visually for others to enjoy. Visual excitement, celebrating difference, and personal expression, are fundamental human experiences and I promote a world where it is available in abundance.
