Artist Statement The downbeat has the potential to be both comic and trajic, where the mundane moments of everyday life are played out again and again. I am interested in the ordinary moments of daily life becoming something other, a moment marked, sometimes by alien or surreal forms such as gesture, caricature, colour, abstraction ect. These moments fall under the shadow of politics and the use of the media, and try to show the contrast between stories that enter our lives everyday. As a whole the work is all about real life and the way we view the many different things that happen around us. The amplification of these moments are their own form of resistance to actualy being downbeat - to the possibility of being something other.
