Scott McCracken's paintings are an index of geometric shapes and forms invented through a process of accumulation, recycling and reconfiguration.  A recurring form adopts a different identity from one painting to the next, affording each work its own singular logic and personality, both in terms of organisation of pictorial space and application of paint.  By using the same format and size of support, a seriality is created within the work. An individual painting is concurrently autonomous and dependent on the wider community of paintings it belongs to.  Although rooted in the language of abstraction, an animated quality extends throughout the work.

Caught somewhere between states, between lines of text and solid line of ink, these images are neither decorative art nor prose. I am instead creating a physical pause within the process of a photocopy by moving the image with the laser. Very broadly, as a neurodiverse thinker who likes to experiment with generating patterns for print these copies/collages seek to destroy the system of the dictionary. The dictionary is a familiar representation of words, language and communication. Some neurodiverse thinkers have trouble grasping these components and so create their own alternative versions in order to communicate effectively. The flexibility of language is being celebrated here, alongside a critique of the complex rules that govern even the smallest of interactions. 

The exhibition is a showcase of the history of the Elephant and Castle and London South Bank Univerisity's contribution to the area over the last 125 years
