eɪlɪən or in english, ALIEN

I have been asked to paint on a bunker at a local festival called Blissfields, kindly the event host who has bought my paintings in the past has offered me this. The bunker used to be the place of experiments somewhat like Area 51. so instantly little green men and the C.I.A. pop to mind in this media culture. but the term Alien just means something different so this is my first experiment using the imagery that i have collected as a reference point and then freehanding my texts into images and mixing contemporary issues. Such as UK Independence Party and there veiw on Europe and migrants

 

Burying Anthropomorphized Paraphernalia.

Exploring the use of time change in video editing as i bury my bong from college. As i've been looking at the idea of breaking ideologies it felt hypocritical to keep hold of a tool that has led to my misuse of a substance when i currently believe moderation is the key to appropriate substance use.



The use of filming my moving in a circle where half the shot isn't visible is intentional. The idea of breaking a cycle.



The times are changing, move with it, and you will progress, fight it and your regress.

Stuck in our ways/ Agnosticism

Stuck in our ways/Agnosticism- all ideologies. Theologies and Atheism are flawed in essence because they struggle to adopt change. granted It is not impossible, but these allow a comfort zone, making it easier to stay in a rut if you take a narrow singularly focused approach/ take things literally/ rely on a current undisputed fact, this removes common sense. Nothing is certain because its the work from the mind of a mixed up ape.
