Installation in the m2 Gallery, London, April 2012

 

The Unentitled series records actions defined by confinement, in a perpetual cycle of futile effort to break out of inhibiting circumstances.

My direct physical engagement in the work is as much a process of personal investigation - into how we constrict and limit ourselves - as how the social, familial, domestic and political environments limit out ability to express who we are and how we feel. These works are about the problem of self-expression and the individual, or indivisual need, versus the needs of society and the community. They represent the struggle for fulfilment and self-expression, of finding our way out - often of our own preconceptions and prejudices - but also those imposed on us by others.
