      These images were made using the program ‘Audacity’, usually an audio editing program, in a process known as ‘Databending’ that takes the image down to it’s raw data which allows it to be read as an audio file, before putting it back together again after using a technique for editing audio. Here is a…

  • gL1_cH

    My interest in Glitch art came about whilst watching the film ‘Koyaanisqatsi’ by Director Godfrey Reggio featuring a superb soundtrack composed by Philip Glass. The file I was watching had been corrupted in some places causing the distortions seen below. I felt that this style of distortion would be advantageous to my studies of landscapes. I came upon…

  • Landscape Study 2

    Here is a collection of buildings and artworks that have informed this painting. I think the painting itself is fairly successful. I wanted to keep in the grid to be a bit reminiscent of 90s vector art posters and the contrast between the bare mdf background and the vibrant paint provides a digitally derelict aesthetic.

  • Landscape Studies

          One of the most important elements of my figure drawings is the landscape that encompasses the characters. My wish is for these landscapes to feel as expansive as those of surrealist origins, but not be directly surreal.

  • Shirazeh Houshiary: Smell of First Snow at Lisson Gallery

    The arabic words adorning Shirazeh Houshiary’s work are something to be seen.

From far away, they form a field that sits in front of the viewers eye, slightly obscuring…

  • Trip The Light Exhibition

    Many Photographs courtesy of Daniel Bandfield. The exhibition opening took place on the 14th May, and was a glaring success. Many people turned up and the atmosphere was overwhelmingly positive. The only snag was a late opening caused by a rather long crit led by Jonny Briggs which lasted for 3.5 hours! However, Jonny was…

    I made this poster for a competition to design a 90’s Rave poster for “This is England ’90”, so I am posting it here too because why not? All done in photoshop, was lots of fun, I’m really digging the whole cyberpunk feel atm.

  • Gaining Perspective

    This painting has taken about a week to produce, and although there are places which may need a bit of a retouch, that would mainly involve repainting whole sections and I just wanted to get the image out. The conception of the piece is very literal and to some degree a bit immature. I submitted…
