“Art is not a question of affirmative action. It is an affirmation of one’s belief in human universality, the world is not black and white; it is a multitude of colours.” - Luis Valdez

The hypocrisies of post modern society have created a media controlled ‘reality’ which is narrow minded and incoherent, and that, ironically, we consume without question. Within my practice I reject the formal representations, so familiar to us, which dehumanise and decentralise their subjects. This allows me to explore the world for myself, and reconsider my understanding of it, leading me to question the relationships humans have with one another and the world surrounding them.
