Malcolm Payne: Illuminated Manuscripts 2003/2005

"This series of prints entitled Illuminated Manuscripts, produced between July 2003 and January 2005, animate commonplace objects of material culture, in particular those possessing little if not any explicit or overt signification. If a meta-text exists in the work, it reflects unambiguously on a post 9/11 warrior state mindset and other representations of global disquiet, including HIV/Aids and forms of sanctimonious extremism. This is achieved through dissonance, both in the improbable affinities or groupings assigned to these (non-menacing) objects and how they are re-fashioned in powerful software applications that causes damage to their structural coherence. He deliberately conjoins these objects in a marginal union to provoke a balance between innocence and disturbing portent."
