'VOLGA' explores my Russian roots drinking beer in a crumbling, abandoned brewery as the sun rises and the schooners sink. The Russian folk song 'The Boatmen' is played as it was sung by the proletariat of the past pulling barges up the Volga river before the Soviet army adopted it.

'Chop' is an exhibition of my vulnerability and futility to affect the issues of the day. Being naked in a forest and attacking and practicing my will over nature. The timeless act of chopping symbolises my participation in humanity. The dead log becomes a signifier of remorse and regret in the cycle of consumption.

Still from the performance 'Self for Sale' Whilst on the Porosity Studio in Shanghai, 2010 I sought enlightenment in the city streets. Manipulating the established language and methods of slum (illegal) businesses I set up a business in which i was offered for 'sale'. A naive attempt to free ones mind amongst the throng.

‘Primary Producer’ exhibits the two extremes within the energy and food chain. The artist is seen struggling to capture the suns light energy with ink and paper, whilst the grass all around does this seamlessly. This naive action shows our relatively poor methods of harnessing producing energy.

'Playing the Ferryman' is an endurance performance playing the poker machine from day into night. It is an attempt to understand this world, over run by money and the transactions it reduces us to, the ultimate result of Guy Debord's 'La Société du Spectacle'.

'Board Walk' is a triptych performance made as part of my Honours Project, 'The Surfing Flaneur: In The Midst of the Fugitive and the Infinite', I walked through and on top of the urban environment as I meandered my way to the sea.

'Desire Action #1' utilises the process of etching to capture the physical mark and representation of chance. All actions may be reduced to there original desire. In this performance the desire to turn of the light is captured on a zinc plate.

'Liminal Extending Hobo' is the partner performance to 'Cultural Currency' and involves the performer bringing the liminal zone of the beach into the transitory urban environment. The mark is made in the same way a surfer navigates the waves with the performer acting wholly within the moment.

The artist is seen collecting sand from Bondi Beach as the sun rises and the surfers attack the surf. The figure stoops in front of the camera to collect handfulls of sand for his pockets in appreitiation for the wealth of this sand. Thanks to Hugh Marchant for filming the performance.
