Tom Parker

Tom Parker has spent much time over the last year perfecting the feigned use of third person in writing as a means of implying a perceived but faux success.

The work is concerned with a continuous practice of labouring towards no outcome. Through the adoption of a controlled process and implemented rules of constraints and constants, areas are recorded in a way of collecting information that may otherwise be cumulatively lost throughout the printing practice and a goal-orientated disposition in general. This said, of course, having no goal as the desired achievement from the start is, if met, a successful outcome. So the only way of avoiding that pitfall is to fail- to achieve a goal that was set out to be avoided- and produce an outcome.
