The Arcades Project, 2016. It’s not just black and white. I make and paint in order to explore and give shape to my thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalyst and philosopher, Julia Kristeva, notes that the abject is not viewed in terms of what is repellent, gory and grotesque. Instead the abject describes ideas that are pushed to the edges of the mind, things which are just barely conscious to ourselves. It’s not just black and white. Out of sight out of mind. August 2016, please see The Unit, Bristol.
