THE NATURE OF WANTING - ARTIST STATEMENT
‘The Nature of Wanting’ is a body of work that addresses the unsustainable consumption of the human race. As a species people continuously process resources of social, environmental and economic value with little regard for the future. Materials are extracted, refined and transformed into fleeting 'objects of desire'. Though a face-paced lifestyle only encourages a focus on the final product, their consumers have become detached from the process that created them. Resulting in a reduced appreciation between these 'objects of desire' and the methods used to create them. A disassociation that contributes to a wasteful attitude towards both labour and environmental resources.
This exhibition explores human body as a machine that seeks out and consumes through unsustainable resource gathering processes. Representing all 'objects of desire' is a small stepped pyramid that appears in several of the works. Whether through representation or suggestion, human presence provides context and narrative for this pyramid to generate discussion of humanity’s consumption habits.

Working with Harrison has opened up my world to the endless possibilities I can create with oil paints. He has gone at a gentle but very informative pace that I can understand and put into practice. Throughout the process he is offered ongoing feedback and support in a constructive manner that has enabled me to expand on my knowledge of colour and techniques. I am so grateful to have met such a talented individual with amazing people skills and artistic talent.

Harrison was an excellent mentor during my studies. His knowledge and guidance in painting techniques and theory were of great value and made a difference to my artwork. His approach is very encouraging yet he is direct and great at problem solving issues with my works...
