Reaper is an eerie name for particular ‘brand’ of unmanned drone, harvesting information. The palette is mainly monochromatic, this is the information / the news - the fluorescent yellow ‘hum’ at the top and bottom of the canvas is the background energy or the sear of insidiousness of surveillance / combat. The cross hair makes the view point hover above, what are these? insects? People? Seeds? As they migrate across the canvas like iron filings, observed, recorded.
