These works are representative of my continued
investigations into found text such as graffiti and their application
within a visual arts practice. Monographs, encrypted symbols
and acronyms feature heavily throughout the raw material that
I collect. I am particularly interested in creating imitations
of the surfaces and types of marks that can be found in urbanzones
These monographs will remain ambiguous,
it is up to the viewer to determine,
from their experience, whether they are recognisable or new.
