Pastiche; a lens through which to view the present

The focus of my research is pastiche. Utilizing a combination of analogue and digital technologies, I will propose that pastiche is not only a means of mimicking or referencing the past, it is a means of providing a lens through which the viewer can make sense of the present. I will investigate this with regard to the subject matter and methodology of my art-making practice that includes painting, stencilling, photography and sculpture. My work depicts scenes that comprise an amalgam of elements. This is achieved through digital and analogue technologies and includes stencils to juxtapose, repeat and mirror built and natural environments from a variety of contrasting locations. Although stencilling reiterates the ideals and anxieties associated with the subject, the relationship between the original and its reproduction is blurred through this process.
