Endurance
My work lives in the surreal gap between art and life. In its simplest terms it is my life story, a conversation about relationships and how one human being can impact upon another sometimes without knowing it. Endurance embodies my own Kantian 'ghost in the machine', replaying chapters and events from life, adding retrospective questions and comments. I am not concerned with conceptual or analytical knowledge but the basic structure of experience and the questioning of what it is to be and to feel human. Logic surely tells us that the only absolutes in life are birth and death; what happens in-between is a by- product of free will and personal choices guided by each individual's moral compass.
