Comment :
The models for this piece were 'fancy' mice that ranged in ages from a couple of weeks to maturity. The baby mice pictured were bred to make pictures with. This is part of an ongoing exercise in constructing grids. The original negative monochrome prints have been inverted and synthetically coloured. This work reproduces the mice to their actual size.

Détail I & II



Comment:
The most recent in series of paintings and drawings employing the use of the Burqa as a motif visually deceptive in its simplicity, and loaded with cultural connotations, especially in the current climate. "Burqa Kawaii 2 (Burqa VS Mecha Simurgh )" draws on a diverse source of references including the subcontinental Miniature (mainly Moghal, Persian and Deccani), not just purely in their aesthetic, but also in using the Miniature to explore the discourse between the conventions, sensibilities and traditions of painting from the 'East' and the 'West'. A re-assessment rather than an 'appropriation' of visual culture and intellectual pursuit, thats feeds into my investigation of the discourse and critical endeavor that is contemporary painting, and to look at contemporary painting not just in terms of the conceptual, but in terms of a conceptual way of thinking that is not denigrated by its ability to be visually engaging.
