‘Skateboarder’ – mixed media on paper (detail), 2025.

Athlete Tony Hawk said “I feel like skateboarding is as much of a sport as a lifestyle, and an art form, so there’s so much that it transcends in terms of music, fashion, and entertainment.”

The closest I ever got to skateboarding was when I tried to ice skate once and fell over many times! I’ve always admired the freedom that skateboarding represents. Here the skateboarder is being pursued by a piece of electronic circuitry and watched by an anonymous robotic like figure. They both represent the algorhythms that pursue us throughout life and try to persuade us to buy stuff.
