Concept
The interpretations encounter political statements or disperse cultural observations; correspondence that is not immediate but perhaps depends on the contingencies of travel. Subversive systems of posting and collecting dialogue create the emergence of new narratives that are shared and reacted upon through hybrid texts, images and temporary ownership. Show cased as a touring exhibition at Broadwalk Arts, Bristol then at The Willesden Gallery, London, the works continue to explore language, visual interchange and systematic dialogues.

'The Background of Art & The Box It Is In '
The Background of Art & The Box It is In draws ideas from the metamorphosis of the object of knowledge. Knowledge in becoming for profit has entered itself within a commodity culture as such is subject to the de-contextulisation and dissociation of meaning. In the entering this modus operandi the object of knowledge is in a state of contestant flux.
