I use digital means to layer and combine images from drawing, photography and painting to create composite imagery printed on paper, canvas and sometimes projected.
These collage-like, painterly works fuse several different forms and practices. I have no rules or notions of what may be proper.
I’m most excited when I’m surprised by what I’ve made - the image stuns me for a second. For me, art is about discovery and sharing. James Byrne
