"Craig Kerrecoe uses colour as a way
of abstractly studying and understanding his actions,
reactions and interactions with those around him. Pursuing
a relatively simple ‘flesh against machine’ metaphor, using
nothing more than wallpaper scrapers, he scrapes paint onto
each canvas, layer after layer, as if removing these layers
from his own ‘self’. He then scrapes the paint off again in
the hope that this removal process will somehow ‘reveal’
the true identity that lies beneath. Whether this true
identity is genetically composed or spiritually based is
probably less important than the expectation that, once
free, it will be unencumbered by the weight of a lifetime
of experience and assumption."
