For a long time I have been pre-occupied with one problem with respect to the making of image: how to make an picture that is neither representational nor abstract.
(...) the operation of human consciousness and the means by which one might gain direct experience of existence: that is, existence unclouded by the confusions and contradictions of self-conscious thought. I have tried in various ways to create images which produce, or at least encourage, such a state in the viewer.
My first attempts to produce computer mediated images were based on reconfigurations of Classical Art such as works by Titian, Rubens and Raphael. In effect I attempted to "re-mix" these images using manipulation software such as Photoshop. I wanted to keep the visual order and richness of the paintings without the representational content. By gradually breaking down those parts of the image which explicitly reveal the content I reduced the picture to a mass of possibilities and probabilities.
