Flowers Under X-ray

There is a comic fantasy of ‘x-ray specs’. The idea that by just wearing special glasses an ordinary person can reveal a hidden truth….this is just awe inspiring idea….even for a 38 year old like me. This concept of revealing truth is one of the simplest structures in story telling and for me simply exemplified in the 1999 film ‘The Matrix’ when Neo (Keanu Reeves) has his epiphany, perceives his true environment and its structure is revealed. My work is physically and perceptually ‘on the level’ - Surface, transparency, depth and colour are its character. The fun is in the discovery of this character hidden in sometimes the most unlikely places.
