Description:	‘The subject of my work has always been the same: melancholia and the absurd. The relentless greyness of the work should not be mistaken for a lack of humour. Careful installation of the photographs and other objects is vital for the humour to evident. For this photographic work, there is an ethos of “making” rather than “taking.” All photographs are hand-printed by the artist.’ [MORE] [LESS] ‘The subject of my work has always been the same: melancholia and the absurd.
