Such reflective thought can expose the subject in a variety of ways. Thoughts may drift between issues such as uptopias and dystopias, revealing a subject existing both synchronically and diachronically.

This leads to the question of the sense of anxiety that can be attributed to my paintings. This sense, I feel, is derived from the common feeling in contemporary society that there is no longer any kind of metanarrative guiding our cultures.

This is not necessarily a positive or negative thing, but does however, mean that the foundations on which we hope to build appear in a state of flux. It is in this state of flux that my current concerns with painting lie.
