Description

The "corrections" are a series of twenty seven images which are characterised by their general form. A photographic record of the layers of geometric paint colour resulting from the process of municipal graffiti obliteration.

These pieces examine the nature of randomness. There was never an over-arching intention for these paint forms - they are not representative of anything nor do they try to define anything- they are and that is all. There is no thought behind them other than that which is required to carry out a prosaic, bureaucratic function. Yet out of this chaotic randomness emerge forms which are the essence of concise, uncontrived shape-making. The processes, both physical and intellectual, required to make these prints echo how the human eye assesses the aesthetic or qualitative nature of its surrounding environment, that is to say, creates meaning where none exists. The Corrections are an attempt to create a physical form of that human process.
