Painting

and this, our measure

about this work

This current body of work began with my Master’s thesis. Read the paper if you like; there is a link to the PDF below. Elvis Costello was once asked to explain a particular song. His reply was something like, “If I could say it in other words, I would’ve written another bloody song now wouldn’t I? Man is the measure of all things – or so goes the humanist axiom. Both individually and collectively, we are capable of greatness. This body of work is an inquiry into our stewardship of humanist ideals. What have we achieved and what of our humanity?
