My work explores the relationship between the body and skateboard ethics.

With influences as diverse as Wittgenstein and Roy Lichtenstein, new tensions are generated from both traditional and modern meanings.

Ever since I was a student I have been fascinated by the ephemeral nature of the human condition. What starts out as vision soon becomes corroded into a tragedy of temptation, leaving only a sense of what could have been and the inevitability of a new synthesis.

As shifting forms become frozen through diligent and personal practice, the viewer is left with a glimpse of the edges of our condition.

Thank you, Becky,

The website that you ...err ...cite has allowed me to gain an insight into artistic sensibilities the profundity of which I could never have gained through the normal sensory modalities. Ever since I was a student ... aaarrrgh!

What's happening to me? I think I might be turning into some sort of arty-wanker ... why did I ever open that webpage?!! I think that I might now be glimpsing the edges of my condition ... Nnnnnoooo!!!

All it generates when I click it is a great big empty blank space of nothing, surrounded by a grey border, etc.

Is that what is supposed to happen?

Do you have javascript turned off? It generates quality (and random) artistic statements, like the above and the following:

My work explores the relationship between emerging sexualities and midlife subcultures.

With influences as diverse as Derrida and Andy Warhol, new combinations are generated from both simple and complex meanings.

Ever since I was a student I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of meaning. What starts out as vision soon becomes corrupted into a cacophony of power, leaving only a sense of decadence and the chance of a new understanding.

As spatial phenomena become transformed through emergent and diverse practice, the viewer is left with a statement of the inaccuracies of our era.

"a great big empty blank space of nothing"

That's a pretty accurate summary of the type of thing it parodies...

LH, if you have "Noscript", you might need to enable/give permission for the scripts to run before it will work.

B in T, thanks for pointing out the changing message, that's a stitch!

Some time ago, I devised a more modest engine that produces purposes of life. For example:

You were put in this world to imitate lovers.
Human beings were put in this world to destroy skeptics.
Lovers were put in this world to console the likes of you and me.

what worries me is that if you write this stuff, there are a lot of readers, commentators and decision makers who will take it seriously.

Oh, indeed. But I wouldn't bother worrying about it.
