David has always been more concerned with making images than with making prints. Exhibition prints are magical vessels with their own purpose and place — but images, stripped of physicality, can travel faster and further in cyberspace. His enthusiasm with Internet publication stems from his fundamental belief that images are ideas. Ideas, once shared, create social networks. Sometimes, these conversations stimulate exhibition possibilities but they remain valuable for their own sakes regardless of their outcome.

Nature, by virtue of the human languages that construct it, is always anthropomorphic. Real nature is nameless. Life on earth is a seamless texture of protoplasm dancing to a cacophony of sensations and pumped by the pulsating rhythms of stone and sun, water and gravity, carbon and oxygen. Obsessed with measuring its detail, we’re virtually blind to the whole. In this infinitely complex cosmos, every description is an error of omission producing instead, a multitude of human natures… a litany of paradises lost and re-imagined. Theological allegory or Hollywood melodrama, nature myths have always mapped our sense of yearning and wonder. But this awe is increasingly interrupted by a sidelong glance taken from our horizon of postmodernity. The highway back to Eden is long overgrown with a tangle of image and artifice.
