I started university full of ideas about what I wanted to explore in my creative practise.
I didn’t have preconceived ideas about exactly how I was going to execute my ideas and now I have too many to comprehend.
The facilities available are more than I could have hoped for and some, I didn’t even know existed.
To a certain degree, I am still working within a comfort zone, using techniques which I am familiar with; painting, inking and bleaching photographs and using these to inform paintings.
The subject matter of the images has taken me away from this comfort zone, as I am starting to use images of my own experiences of childbirth and parental experiences.
I am currently building a portfolio of small scale paintings surrounding the theme of parenthood, however, I now have to consider limiting the topics I wish to cover in my MA.
I wish to continue to use personal photographs, which I will reproduce in a variety of ways, to create work about child birth and death.
