‘An artist is a person with talent and the skills to conceptualize and make creative works, often sought out for their skills and original ideas.’
The desire to relate authentically with other humans is why I continue to engage in reflexive praxis as a professional artist. My repertoire is diverse, subject matter contentious, as I challenge taboos, breaking things in collaboration with colleagues, employing interdisciplinary skillsets, a range of mediums and formats. I am my harshest critic.
Fallen Angel
Everyone has the right to believe in what they want. No one has the right to tell others what to believe … especially especially those who business is to endorse and protect pedophiles whilst claiming they are on their knees to save us from eternal hell and damnation.

Victim Impact Statement
This Victim Impact Statement has been prepared and written in full by myself, Alexander Hayes. In identifying as the Victim and as the Complainant in a historical sexual assault case, I hereby describe the physical effects and emotional harm that these matters had at the time of the offences and continue to have upon me to the present day.
Precious Child
If only we had a magic wand that we could wave and change things in ways that would allow the harder shifts and changes in our lives to just go away.
Welcome To Fatherhood
"Perth? Are you serious?" "Yes" "...Well jump in Son...I am going to take you as far as I can go today and when you get back be sure to give me a call."
Angels By Day
Perhaps it was the screaming, maybe the tension, perhaps even the physical altercations we had as kids with our Father's mainly that drove us onto the street.
Heading West
A piece of cardboard, a texta (ink) pen, $10 in my wallet, odd socks, a few pairs of undies, a jacket and absolutely no idea what I was in for.
Kirrawee Senior High School
Yes. It's in the Sutherland Shire, NSW Australia. Home to the Cronulla riots much later in 2005.
Curious Child
My curiosity as a child evolved into that of an obsessional teenager with a focus on electronic systems and wearable technologies.
Forever Friends
He is my Brother. He is my best mate. He is one of many mates but with this bloke I've travelled further than all of them. I have lots of Brother's but we dont share the same Mother.
