Tim Stoner's paintings re-present the familiarity of vernacular images and the prototypes of social groups throughout human history. Concerning himself with the visual possibilities that human gatherings create through their folk-dances, leisure groups, families and communities, Stoner attempts to shift anthropological and documentary diagrams against inventions of the mind, to reflect on the state of our collective unconscious.
