'Consumed' I am in the concert band and jazz band, and find humour in the fact that the musicians within them take on the names of their instruments.

The musician breathes life into the instrument in order for it to sing, but sometimes I draw comparisons to a ventilator, the instrument allowing the musician to breathe, suffocating without it. I decided to take these ideas, and explore how the instrument consumes the musician; the lines blurred between who is playing who. Through these ideas there is a contrast created between the instrument’s enabling effects, and the destruction it can cause.

In the painting, where the environment/structure behind the figures is static, the figures are scraped across it; blurred. The way each layer is treated reflects how permanent they are as a memory, and how memories distort and fragment over time. Although changing gradually over time, the environment always exists; the horizon remains a rugged line. Buildings become dilapidated, disappearing into the ground over time, however tend to stay longer than people who inevitably die and then only exist in photographs as memories. As their physical beings are removed from the world, they are wiped across the canvas; leaving behind memories, flee...
