Titchner’s work explores faith and belief systems. He works in a range of media from sculptures to installations, digital print to video. A central feature of his work is the use of found text, which Titchner lifts from a wide range of material such as corporate manifestos, adverts, song lyrics and philosophy. Each chosen slogan demands the viewer’s attention, often calling for action or reflection as in The Future Demands Your Participation (2006). The text, now out of context from its original source, lacks its original meaning yet urges the viewer to engage and have some sort of transcendence without really knowing why or what for. Titchner’s distinctive graphic style also has an hallucinatory quality and is made all the more hypnotic by being illuminated in a light box, just as you might find an advertisement at a bus stop, exploring the different ways in which people receive thoughts and ideas.
