My Bio
Current Residence: On the edge of dreams
Favourite genre of music: Classic rock
Favourite style of art: Fine Art
Personal Quote: Art is not something you make, it is the action of making.
A Statement of my most recent project:
For this project I have carried a previous theme forward and attempted to expand on the thoughts generated in past work. The concept of reality and what is real is a very loose thing and our perceptions and experiences colour the way we see the world around us. Is the colour you see the same as the colour I see? What is right by your standards and what is wrong? If an object moves beyond your ability to perceive it, does it still exist?
These are all very broad questions; ones that I found it were difficult to solve in a small series of artworks. Therefore for this project I have narrowed the questions down to the theme of dreams and whether what we perceive there is real.
In these photographs I have attempted to recreate a series of separate dreams that I have experienced over a period of time. The pieces are entirely separate and are not linked in any way; therefore I have attempted to demonstrate this with layout, size and placement. Test 1 and Test 2 are connected merely because the dreams they portray occurred back to back to seem to have no other correlation. The pieces are entitled Test 1, 2, 3 and 4 because to my eyes they are experiments in a much larger and longer running project theme, and while they are entirely separate, should be treated as part of an experimental stage that will culminate at the end of the year.

Quote of the day.

Having posted up a series of photographs that I thought were mediocre at best; I was surprised to find that nearly all were immediately favourited. This got me thinking about why I considered them to be worth so little. It didn't take me long to find the answer, which has led me here because the phrase sang so true in my ears that I had to write it down. And what reason have I to write things down if not to share them?
Therefore without further ado, todays quote: Why are these pieces worth so little to me? 'Because the pieces aren't half as interesting as the journey that made them.'
Sincerely Drake.

Devious Journal Entry

That Man is the product of causes that had no prevision of the end they were achieving; that his origin, his growth, his hopes and fears, his loves and his beliefs, are but the outcome of accidental collisions of atoms; that no fire, no heroism, no intensity of thought and feeling, can preserve individual life beyond the grave; that all the labours of the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius, are destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar system, and that the whole temple of Man's achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the debris of a universe in ruins.

Understanding.

Once, I stood on the outside. I stood with the masses and we didn't understand. I resolved that you must be part of something to understand it, you must leave behind prejudice and stereotype, forget what you thought you knew and LEARN. So I left the masses and began to learn; and at first I didn't understand. It seemed the more I learned the less I knew. But slowly and surely thoughts blossomed within my mind, I stood on the inside, and I understood. I began to use this knowledge, exploring and creating, never ceasing to learn; and I didn't look back.
And then I encountered the masses without. I had stood so long among those that knew, this
