When we first wrote of Contender Teo Ormond-Skeaping, blogger Stacy Oborn commented that his then-submission, In the Fulcrum of Our Dreams, reflected "the sensibilities of one that likes to traffic in dreams, archetypes and the shadow-sides of reality."
Ormond-Skeaping's recent submission, Particle Progress, again visits similar sensibilities. The project was intended to be "represented in a 'zine' format containing 21 images... forming a fragmented narrative, [with] diptychs on facing pages preceded and succeeded by two full-bleed images, as well as diagrammatic text." The artist also plans similarly themed installation and video work.

Ormond-Skeaping says of his latest project:
"The particle is responsible for the simplification of the explanation of existence and thought. [It] functions as a fundamental basis for all matter and processes, its finite answer only applicable as long as there is no further manifestation of inexplicable forces. This is equally true of teleology and the finality of existence; knowing that we may only perceive and predict the causality of what will exist between Creation and Infinity during a lifetime—assuming that "life" is defined as a period of conscious existence—we have no means to experience any actuality of finality."
