This suite of collage works is comprised of diagrammatic imageryexcised from aged and obsolete textbooks, reference works, and instructionmanuals. Disinterred from their utilitarian points of origin, these images arereconfigured into idiosyncratic arrangements informed by the paranormal, theesoteric, and the occult. The works attempt to channel the aesthetics andatmospheres of the somewhat amorphous field of ‘hauntology’, as expressed inthe writings of cultural theorist Mark Fisher, the music of Boards of Canada,the whimsical pseudo-science of BBC Television’s ‘Look Around You’, and ghoststories in the tradition of M.R. James. In its use of schematics,illustrations, and infographics - images whose function it is to clarify,quantify, and explicate earthly phenomena - the body of work asks how suchapparently rational visual languages might serve to deepen the mysteries thatabound. The resulting outcomes perhaps sit somewhere between a celebration andgentle satire of the human urge to try to map systems of knowledge, and theinevitable inadequacy of such attempts.
