John Roy
“My work revolves around iconic forms, social memory and what people bring to the piece or their knowledge of that form. I introduce my ideas or thoughts, in a way the viewer can relate to or interpret comfortably. Yet maintain my social, political and aesthetic intentions for the work. In effect to provide enough information for the viewer to draw upon their own personal experiences to tell their own story”.
