Sic Semper Tyrannis
Detail:
The work is in the form of a folding triptych, with overtones of an altar piece or icon, made out of simple black-painted wood. The two side panels fold on brass hinges into the central panel, and the piece should be displayed as an object standing on a plinth. The two smaller side panels contain highly rendered mixed media drawings in ink, graphite, charcoal, chalk, acrylic paint, coffee and home-made tempera paint, and each portrays a rotting corpse lying in a coffin, identifiable through their clothing and other details as Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. The larger central panel contains a drawing echoing aesthetic elements of the side panels, consisting of the text ‘THUS TO ALL TYRANTS’.

Untitled
Details:
An image made up of 24 smaller images, each the size of a standard piece of A4 printer paper, mounted on a board in 6 rows and 4 columns. These images are all developed from a self-portrait of the artist, using a continuous process of photocopying and over-drawing and painting, so that the images represent a sort of timeline of work, with the number echoing the 24 frames used in one second of a film. Each component image will be in the form of a print made from solar etching plates, developed separately and mounted edge to edge so that no border or background is visible.
