A commission for 'The Pleasure Dome':
The golden painting, a piece inspired by and created for The Pleasure Dome’s single ‘This room is for gold and there is no use for it’ highlights a frustrating suffocation that comes with never feeling good enough. The flowers in a vase (a token of love and passion) are replaced with hands; one of the most expressive parts of the human body. They appear wilted and discoloured, portraying a cluster of anxieties with strong undertones of heartbreak. A dark narrative dressed in rich gold coincides the single’s heartfelt lyrics and upbeat melody. These emotions are presented to the listener/viewer as an attempt of letting go of the demons that are confronted through the heartache of a losing battle.

DEACTIVATE ME
​
Imagine having the ability to block out certain characteristics of the ones you love and they could do the same to you. Imagine if those personality traits would rest in a virtual ‘library’ until they are next activated; though after a while they would be forgotten; everyone would end up with the same traits and values; meaning the portal to imperfections would remain buried in a graveyard of the altered past.

Tainted with a grey depression,
the blue paint on the walls attacks even the tallest of spaces.
The wall running along the bed frame reveals an under-layer; a tortured orange, a restricted creativity screaming for a chance to release it's warmth.
Nothing dares to move from the spot it was by chance assigned to.
If these 4 walls were mine, I would go looking for anything but this false hope of a colour.
A yellow cut out of a bird preys for freedom.
It is heading in the direction of chaos; but it seems so beautiful from a far.
A linear flight path would result in the suffocating grip of a reptiles fixation, not to be mistaken for a mutual fixation on one another.
The selfish indulgence of a molly coddler; his panic is greater than that of the victim, because by now they are comfortably numbed in his cold loving grip.
