The piece ‘I see’ is a comment on the inherent uncertainty of life. We go through our daily lives being recorded; data about us is being compiled and analysed, used and fed back to us in a different form. And as we manoeuvre through the sea of information that is thrust upon us we find ourselves still grappling with (or avoiding) fundamental human questions. On the theme of human nature, the piece ‘Untitled (spears)’ aims to bring to the fore the dualities present in all of us. In life we are pushed to adopt the attitudes and belief system of our culture, race, gender, religion, age, sexuality. But if we were honest with ourselves we would acknowledge all of what we are, the good the bad and the ugly, and teach our ambiguities to coexist.
