The general area that I’ve been addressing in the studio over the last couple of years has been the eternal vulnerability of documents and cultural information. We live in an age of false news, conspiracy theories, the reckless disposal of valuable material and a general awareness that previously trusted platforms can no longer be relied upon to present accurate facts. I started thinking more deeply about historical aspects of this when I read Irene Vallejo’s book Papyrus: The Invention of Books in the Ancient World.
These are paintings about erasure, palimpsests, cultural loss and the human impulse to reconfigure reality.
