Photography by Brenton McGeachie
These works explore my interest in ruptures of perception and their potential to prompt new and unpredictable visual experiences. I have taken patterns from Islamic geometric decoration and used competing visual cues to hold these structures on the verge of collapse with tension between flatness and relief, between abstract form and spatial illusion, between the centre and the infinite repeat, between lines collected into shapes and lines as single temporal trails.
I am interested in manipulating these forms to generate permanent states of doubt. To make paintings which cannot be seen at once but which dissolve and reform as meditations on the impossibility of knowledge.
