Patrick Semple's work draws on our cultural history and the language of myth in equal measure. The images are loaded with secrets and twisted with alternative meanings until the ridiculous becomes sublime and the absurd, saintly. Despite the deconstruction evident in some of the images, there is an almost medieval symbolism at work here, quite the antithesis of sleek, modernist chic.
I am interested in making art that is disguised, that sneaks in under the wire, that is, like the bread of the holy sacrament, not merely bread. I am interested in leading towards the fall, the faint, the loss of rational sense. In the moment one loses the boundaries of normal consciousness one is closest to the truth.
