These paintings are an interpretation of my emotional response to time based media. Mass visual information is an accepted part of our everyday existence, television, video, film have become our emotional fix; the characters take us on fictitious journeys that affects our psyche in different ways, provoking reactions that are dependant upon the mind set of the individual. The psychological effects of over exposure to the moving image are a fascinating subject and provide me with ongoing research. The context within which we experience an event will determine how that event is encoded and retained (Oxford Companion to the Mind - Richard L Gregory -1987).
