031_/ For this work I have drawn upon my Cultural background. The Thai language is written in Symbols rather than letters ( like English ). Therefore I have blended my Eastern and Western influnces to produce a piece that crosses Cultural boundaries, and speaks universally to the viewer.

014 _/ I tried to create this as fast as I could, sometimes this is the best way for me to capture what I'm thinking. I kept one clear thing in my mind and that is we are all part of some structure within culture and each of us has some function, that's where I derived alot of the vertical and horizontal areas representing order, one thing I also needed to included was the destruction or abstraction of the grid or if you like the order in culture as things in culture are never predictable.

075 _/ Cheery Blossom. When I think of Culture I imagine the rich cultures of the worlds countries, my response centres on Asia, and in particular Japan. I am fasinated by Japans' diverse culture, history, anime, manga and technology. But the one thing that always reminds me of Japan is a scene of Mt Fuji framed by a hanging branch of Cherry Blossom. I have tried to capture the essence of the cherry blossom in digital form, and hopefully capturing Japans Culture from the historic to the modern age.

034 _/ The word culture suggested to me high society, high society conjured up images of fine wine, food, parties, etc. So, using only type, and only the letters of the word culture, attempted (note: attempted) to portray wine flowing into a glass.

043 _/ RAVE CULTURE. I always wanted to work with pixel characters. I didn't realise at first how time consuming it was. The picture has a lot of personal touch in it. It reminds me a lot of techno clubs in Brisbaine and Melbourne which I visit while I'm down there.
