Trespasses and Dust (2010)

Steven Claydon reinterprets the objects, images and texts through which ‘cultural baggage’ has been communicated and rewrites history as a series of ‘what ifs’. His fusion of old and new is mysterious and tantalising, and he jumbles the usual categorising of high and low culture. His pieces contain clues, symbols, images and texts from familiar sources that combine to create confusion and disruption. Of the work Trespasses and Dust (2010), the artist states: ‘to put it simply, it’s to do with the way memories manifest themselves and the way they mutate and sometimes crassly impose themselves into the “now”.
