Trans - Vex refers to trans meaning across and vex meaning to annoy, trouble or disturb.
The trans being the act of translating historic images particularly pre and early modern print imagery to a different medium that of paint. This methodology is an absurd act in itself, to paint a printed image really labours its material qualities.
This coupled with the themes of the images taking their cues from the essay 'Toward a metaphysics of shit' (2002) by Jean Fisher lead to an exploration of the idea of the trickster to trouble and annoy in a way to renew and affirm life.

A Thousand Pent Passions 2015
A Thousand Pent Passions 2015 from Alexander Small on Vimeo.
One from the archive a short version of this traumatic video 'A Thousand Spent Passions' I made last year, some of you may remember it from the 'P/ss/ng into the Wind' exhibition. Jonathan Alibone pointed out a nice quote from the book Forests: The Shadow of Civilization by Robert Pogue Harrison which reminded me of this piece.
'All becomes indefinite in the Dionysian frenzy, for Dionysus [...] liquidates the boundaries of form.'
