"Chaos vs order, art vs science, dynamics vs static… these supposed antitheses or conflicts, and the boundaries between them, have been inherent and enormously influential in my life, and therefore my art. In the process of coming up against these boundaries, and finding myself in the centre of these conflicts, I have come to question if they really need to exist. Or rather, how one can find themselves in a fluid state of equilibrium; part artist part scientist, part ordered part chaotic.

In exploring this concept in my work, I hope not to impose my own ideas of its meaning on the viewer such as to construct borders around their imagination. By using minimalist and abstract form, I hope they will be empowered to explore the landscape of my work, and in doing so, to explore their own landscape and the nature of its borders.”

Paul Waycott, began a Bachelor of Science at Melbourne University, but followed the arts three years later. He is currently completing his Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting) at RMIT and has been selected to participate in an exchange program at Newcastle University, in the UK.
