Mr Ferris has been making art since around 2000. He defines his work as contract-impressionism.
He finds drama and gendery body art quite tiresome and likes de/reconstruction. Generally, humour is a big part of his work, operating playfully from a dry, yet poignant political position, and he does not feel this compromises the composition, but rather helps him to understand the sensibilities of his audience in a more sophisticated fashion than cake, gloop or skin-slash-touchy art.
Risk is integral to his performance style in the form of physical mishaps, personal or political envelop-pushing and intentionally hard-to-manage scripted text. Technology (ranging from 3D animation to building a giant pneumatic cannon) has become prominent in his vision of how he sees his performance practice evolving.
