- Painting Updates: Iterative Marks and the Subterranean StudioThe Unblinking Lens: A 5-Year Conceptual JourneyTitan of Summer (5 Years in the Void) Update Tue 25 Aug 5:11 pm
In the contemporary art ecosystem, the act of painting is shifting toward a model of continuous deployment. Much like incremental software updates, my current studio practice functions as a series of ongoing patches, system overhauls, and algorithmic refinements. To navigate this generative friction, I utilize an unconventional dialectic: deploying both Grok and Google AI to scrutinise and refine my text. Rather than triggering digital friction, both neural networks exhibit a bizarre, symbiotic harmony—each seemingly content to be cross-examined by its algorithmic counterpart. This digital curation contrasts sharply with the physical reality of the contemporary artist. As critic Jerry Saltz famously noted, a mere one percent of the top one percent of artists manage to sustain a livelihood exclusively from their studio practice. In response to these daunting institutional mechanics, my practice retreats to the elemental. I choose to work outdoors and directly on the ground, a somatic grounding that explicitly evokes the horizontal canvas of Jackson Pollock and the raw immediacy of Abstract Expressionism. The floor becomes an active agent rather than a passive support. This grounding serves as a site for cultivating, mining, and refining an evolving painterly vocabulary. It is a dual process of excavation and refinement, heavily situated within the lineage of conceptual and material subversion. Working on the earth invokes the spirit of David Hammons’s seminal Bliz-aard Ball Sale (1983), which collapsed the boundaries between commodity, performance, and public space. Similarly, it channelises the grand, fractured materiality of Julian Schnabel’s plate paintings, where the broken ground mirrors a fractured cultural landscape. By synthesizing the performative marketplace of Andy Warhol and the visceral, street-level semiotics of Jean-Michel Basquiat, these canvas "updates" become more than mere aesthetic exercises. They serve as a critical dialogue between high tech, low finance, and the enduring dirt of the physical world.

Representing a $7.5M valuation of blood, sweat, and tears—with absolutely no regrets—this project transforms 24/7 neighbourhood footage into a grand, multi-year socio-cultural archive. Filmed on location in remote Lincoln South, SA (over 700 km from Adelaide), the work embraces the isolation of its landscape, channeling the quiet magic of places like Marfa, Texas.Conceptual Connections: The Gaze & The VoidSurveillance functions here as both documentation and live performance. By utilizing AI-enabled CCTV cameras, the project captures the exact mechanics of modern voyeurism, testing whether human instinct can remain divine when filtered through algorithmic bias. This work builds directly upon historical dialogues of observation:- The AI Ghost & The Mona Lisa: Exploring the eternal, haunting relationship between the observer and the observed, updated through an automated lens.
- Duchamp’s Étant donnés: Mirroring the classic peephole voyeurism by framing backyard liminal spaces, empty hallways, and night-time precincts.
- Peter Tyndall & Nam June Paik: Continuing the dialogue of "someone looks at something," while channeling Paik’s love of surveillance and Warhol’s obsession with the self-documenting frame. The CCTV camera grants total creative freedom—allowing the performance to unfold authentically, "like dancing when no one is watching."
