Designed to be read on several levels these images allow us to catch
glimpses of a past that continually repeats itself, and as our eyes adjust
to the shifting layers we can delve deeper within and discover the
underlying forms. Each layered image displaces the last, yet within one
framework they become united.
Underlying this framework a discrete displacement is also underway.This
is the displacement of more traditional art materials by technology. Scanned
images of actual paintings are merged into the many levels of the completed
works forming just part of this computerised process. A process in which
physical materials are ousted by contemporary equivalents.

Throughout history people have been 'displaced' from their homes
and homelands. Within this series of work a visual time line is created
exploring just this plight.
