A new begining of sorts? Spring term starts on 28th January and I’ve just started this blog. Its also six months to my Degree Show. That’s scary-
‘Unstable Self’ has been my working title for recent drawings. These self-portraits have been drawn from a position of instability and record the movement of my body. They relate to my thoughts and perceptions at the begining of term.
In the age of the Selfie my work challenges the conventions of self-portraiture. I make drawings that are informed by my senses - touch, sight, movement. My intention is to use my own sensory experience to create self-portraits but not to reveal a representation of my body. Instead the work is a record of my shifting perceptions. In making the work I am seeking to capture my own vulnerability on a journey of self-discovery.
