The Disappearance of Makepeace - A Tale of Two Lives

The project crosses art forms, exploring issues of metamorphosis, dissolution and change through different media while engaging the viewer on several levels. Installed works, some of which occupy a third space between painting or drawing and sculpture, deal with an inner mythology through dissolving planes or inserted windows, and can be viewed solely in terms of their visual dynamics; other canvasses operate through near-abstraction. The works can also be seen to interact with the text and podcasts of the graphic novel that sets them within a wider context of narrative, adventure and dream.

Bio
My current work crosses art forms with journeys of transformation, exploring issues of identity, dissolution and change while engaging the viewer on several levels. These ideas developed most recently during an Artist’s Residency awarded by the Eutopia Foundation in Kavala, Greece. The works are underpinned by the narrative of a mystery thriller written with the support of Arts Council England, 'The Disappearance of Makepeace - A Tale of Two Lives’, an artist’s book tracing the relationship of Eustace and Makepeace, from their first childhood meeting to their final encounter.
