1995 HOMOGENEOUS BABES
Despite the many, colourful, Pop-influenced paintings that dominate my oeuvre, it's becoming more and more apparent that the core of my development has been conceptual rather than representational or even autobiographical (which is how I tended to think of my work when I was younger). Even in these relatively crude collages, which are among my earliest works, I am picking at the edges of ideas about how we appropriate and synthesize experiences from entertainment and advertising media (instead of real life) to shape our identities – diminishing individuality and creating social behaviour that is not dissimilar to children playing dress-up.
