Research

20th Century Digital imaging Digital memory cinema digital painting phenomenology

My research has centered on comparative aspects of both 20th Century Western phenomenologists (as well as Nietsche, Bergson, etc.) and what I consider to be the phenomenology of Far Eastern philosophies. A deep interest in phenomenology and the development and implications of cinema and technological imaging inform my studio practice, which in recent years has centred exclusively on the production of paintings which replicate the look of cinematographic images. This research has taken me both to Europe and the far East. I recently travelled to Nepal and India where I visited the Hindu University at Benares; the Tibetan Library and Archives in Dharmsala; museums and galleries in New Delhi and Bombay; and numerous holy sites and monasteries.
