Portraits and Masks [2019-]
From life, photographs, the web, 3D scans, motion capture, digitally generated avatars...
The Portraits / components are layered, remixed and then reconstituted as digital entities - using Unity game engine platform - Potentially the Portrait is composed of multiple parallel realities rather than the singular amalgam of analogue space.
In this series the Portraits are saved in a variety of media formats from oil on canvas, game engine platforms downloads or online (eg Itchio), to digital encapsulations with giff loops, binary code streams, bluetooth file transfers....

Bodies [2017-]
Bodies are computer generated, existing solely in digital space, their movements, rate of replication, 'lifespan' are controlled by solely by the 'physics' settings applied to their digital environment/space
.
While Bodies may trigger 'real world' associations these links exist outside their terms of reference in other parallel realities. This series sets out to explore the tenacity of these associations.
