stanza , imaginary data cities


Complexities Series II. 2010. Works On Canvas. All 100 cm by 100 cm and signed.

The artworks are fused hybridised imaginary data cities. Layers of data, information and GPS information are used to create these images. These lines, grids, roads form the design of the city. I see these forms as the drawing and marks we have made and and left behind on the landscape. In essence the artworks represent the scars on the landscape that we have created into by our actions. They all have in common that they depict maps with layers of data, mixed information, and they juxtapose systems about the landscape. These are all based on real places. Here they are being exhibited at La Panacee in Montpelier in 2014..

In making these work, various other things start to be played out.  The concepts of the city of noise,  the city of data, the living breathing city space. Within the series some also merge city data with other cities to create what I term The Third Space, amulti layered migrant city.  These artworks also play on the relationship of scale within the micro / macro . Here is the city alive, ever moving towards the edges of space, alive in a viral sense.

Every artwork is a one-off, unique print on canvas. Each is signed on the back where they have been previously exhibited.
