The source material for this series of paintings is my old VHS tapes of music video clips that I recorded off the TV in the mid to late 90s.They were meticulously and obsessively curated videos which sought to document and preserve that time in my youth. Now they are superseded by internet accessibility to all these clips, plus more... thus retrospectively making my hard work redundant and inferior.

‍
These paintings revisit and reinterpret the tapes, and follows on from my previous series of television image paintings. 
In these paintings I render the VHS aesthetic in all its deterioration and saturation glory, that captures an essence or mood of the songs without the sound. Visually the paintings are random from one to the next as the series resembles a mix tape of songs without the sound.
