Jake Francis is a recent fine art graduate from Norwich University of the Arts, and he's currently wondering what that actually means.
Through cynicism and sardonic humour, my practice can be characterised as a set of wobbly punch lines. By using everyday objects and visual puns I attempt to redefine the mundane furnishings that surround us. It is in this process of appropriation that the art world is both celebrated and mocked, similar to how a school bully pulls on the hair of a girl he truly loves. Even my own disposition is brought into this stream of parody, acknowledging the uselessness I feel as a ready made artist. In short, the artistic practice I pursue is destructive, playful, immature and cloying; it can be pretty much summed up through any episode of Tom and Jerry.
