By examining signification signal procedures and communicating, Patterson makes work that creates varied meanings. Meanings and organizations collide. Space becomes language plus time becomes picture.

His photographs challenge the states of look of an image in the context of modern visual culture in which concepts, portrayals and images normally work. By using an ever-growing archive of files that are discovered to produce artworks that are independent, he reflects on the strongly connected issues of memory and archive file.

His works focus on the inability of communicating that is used to visualise the dysfunctions of language, the dissonance between content and type and reality, the effort of dialogue. In a nutshell, the shortage of clear references are essential components in the job. With the employment of appropriated materials that are taken up from a day to day circumstance, regular items are presented by him along with references to architecture, painting and texts. Utopian constructivist layouts and pompous writings are juxtaposed with things that were little. Classifications are discreetly reversed.

His works in many cases are classified as a member of the brand new romantic movement due to the want for the local in the globalized world that was unfolding. But this reference isn't deliberate, as this type of artwork is a portion of the collective memory. By referencing romanticism, grand- symbolism and guignolesque black humour, he creates work through labour intensive procedures that may be found explicitly as a private exorcism rite. They may be inspired by a nineteenth century convention of works, in which an ideal of 'Carried Through Lack' was viewed as the pinnacle.

Transformed into artwork, language becomes a decoration. At that instant, a lot of indistinctnesses and ambiguities, which are inherent to the occurrence, come to the surface.

His works confirm a connection between the reality of the landscape and that envisioned by its conceiver. These works focus on real questions that ascertain our existence.

He creates scenarios in which regular items are detached from their natural function or changed. By using particular manipulations, distinct functions and special blends or circumstances are made.
