Digital creations exploring meaning and value
The more our lives are defined by and expressed through the internet, the looser the tether is to the real world.
Is the world that we create, and consume, less valid? Or is it potentially more sincere, as the possibilities of defining and influencing that world increase?

Meaningful / 1 of 3
Digital original
One of ten limited, verified, digital originals. Part of tryptic exploring meaning.
There are a number of ways of representing our challenge to understand meaning in the world, and in ourselves:
(1) The world is fundamentally ordered and meaningful, with any sense of disconnect with the world the result of barriers we create around us which hinder, rather than help.
(2) The world is fundamentally chaotic, and we, also flawed, create structures of meaning around us to define our world
(3) The world is fundamentally chaotic. We are, at our core, meaningful, and seek to create a world around us that reflects that meaning.
The first work in this series is both existentially optimistic, and suggests that the world around us has an understandable order. Chaos is of our own design, like that created by the inhabitants of Sartre’s No Exit.

Acrylic on paper
10x10”
One of ten limited digital editions of a sole physical original. Part of tryptic exploring meaning.
There are a number of ways of representing our challenge to understand meaning in the world, and in ourselves:
(1) The world is fundamentally ordered and meaningful, with any sense of disconnect with the world the result of barriers we create around us which hinder, rather than help.
(2) The world is fundamentally chaotic, and we, also flawed, create structures of meaning around us to define our world
(3) The world is fundamentally chaotic. We are, at our core, meaningful, and seek to create a world around us that reflects that meaning.
The second work in this series, explores the sense that we, fundamentally disordered and chaotic, create structures of meaning around us to protect and order the world that we encounter.
This work is perhaps the most nihilistic of the series, and evokes a sense of the sublime – a small structure sitting in the midst of an untameable sea.
The physical original uses BLK 3.0 paint, absorbing over 95% of light, further highlighting the insubstantial nature of the structure.

The third work in the series provides a more optimistic view of the self. The knowable and existentially meaningful individual: order in an otherwise chaotic world.

Portrait of Richard Dawkins at All Times
Digital original
In 1996 Richard Dawkins was given the “Humanist of the Year” award for his “significant [prior] contributions” in explaining science to ordinary people. In 2021, comments made by Dawkins on social media led to the award being withdrawn.
This work explores the idea that individuals do not have fixed histories, but have pasts vulnerable to revision.
