How has your work developed since your last catalogue, Sorrysorrysosorry?

Perhaps you’ve already noticed that decay and temporality are widespread throughout my work. Many of the works are explicitly remote and gloomier than before; some of the exhibitions have been like greetings from a disaster zone. Even though they are still, stable, they nevertheless recall scenarios of collapse: burned wood, leftovers, surfaces full of holes, curled up. These maimed things have displaced the kind of smooth, taut skin, shimmering like plasma (which still comes from kitchen drawers). No more clouds anymore; hardly any plastic wrap or gelatin. Both materials are completely missing from the Drogheda show. There’s more burned wood, mobiles made of leftovers from the slaughterhouse, and worm-like polyurethane.
Altogether, the forms have become more complicated, turbulent, and pulsating. Humor has taken a backseat, and there’s more bile in the melancholy. I’m interested in seeing how the works continue to develop.
