SYSCAPES (2007-present) /'sIskeIps/ An open-ended work, consisting of modular sequences, permitting compositional rearrangements and conceptual sequencing depending on in-situ conditions. The Syscapes are 'issue-spaces' expressively depicting the underlying dynamics of contemporary phenomena, and ranging from geopolitical stances to envorionmental change. Inspired by the theory of systems, the form and content of these sequences occupy a shifting middle ground within the spectrum between infographics on one hand, and symbolic metaphor on the other.
