Little Martyr
I have been mixing elements of collage into my
paintings for about two years now. It fascinated me
how I could change the personality of a painting by
randomly altering a specific feature, and even more
so, by conflicting a nice glossy image with a crudely
drawn painting. Still though, the 'surprise' was relatively
in-transient.
Jewel In The Lotus
By its very nature, art - and more specifically, painting -
serves no function; it may be deep, meaningful,
ostentatious, but figuratively speaking, a painting is a
painting - that's all it does - and this fascinated me. What
if a painting could function!

A Small study For All Kinds Of Evil
Here I have basically evolved my initial experiment
with collage, and have sought to introduce
personality to a 'dead' medium, using a virtual,
functioning media to give the work of art
redeeming characteristics that are
interchangeable. I can change it's eye to your eye,
my eye, or anything I like. I can make it squint,
blink or wink...
