Nick Fudge's collection Destruction of Appearance of five still artworks brings together works from two series that the artist began in 1994 - Drive and Apparitional Appearance.

The Drive series emerged from his extensive travels across America in the 1990s, carrying his digital works on external hard drives. The series explores reproductive media from different eras, often co-existing in a hyper-reality, such as black and white photography, painting, and graphic software, and is represented in this collection by the works Mount Olympia and Reality Drive.

The Apparitions of Appearance series reflects on the illusory nature of digital spaces and the realities of software development as it is constantly updated and expanded in functionality. This series, which includes Destruction of Appearance (1.0), Unsupervised Jazz (6.0), and Night Blindness_01, was constructed with an emphasis on the beauty of precision and an attitude of aesthetic indifference.

Fudge's artistic explorations investigate philosophical ideas surrounding reality, and he is deeply interested in works that challenge established norms and allow space for the development of alternative models of reality.
