Despite the negative effects of gloss paint fumes (nasty stuff!) we’re still here to make sure you’re all good and well and getting your daily dose.
Here’s your next 5-a-day:

My work sets out to question the perceptions associated with everyday belongings as I believe that how we understand ourselves lies within the objects we choose to own. I treat everyday objects as pieces in a museum collection. Despite their similar characteristics each object is unique. This is done to highlight how our use of language and representation can lead to us to over-categorise objects and strip them of their individuality.

Truth Is Just A Rule That You Can Bend
Seconds ticking. Moments passing. People fading into memories as the present turns into the past. My art practice explores the notion of loss, control and the passage of time through the manipulation and recreation of nature in its many forms. Creating hyperrealistic sculptures my artwork captures loss of life and time immortalizing it into a permanent form. ‘Truth Is Just A Rule That You Can Bend’ entices the viewer to immerse into a unsettling but familiar world that embodies the essence of life, permanence and the overwhelming sense of grief.

Presence Without Acceptance
My work concerns the acceptance of the self. We instinctively recognize the parameters of the ‘self’, but never question this conditioned response. This classification separates everything to an infinite degree until we are left only with ourselves as ‘non-foreign’. My work highlights these decisions and questions them as if they were made consciously.
Comprising of multiple wooden boards, drawings and clay statuettes, the image of the self is obsessively repeated, signifying the ingrained nature which makes these decisions unconscious.

Forms of Narrative
My work is centered on the dynamics of communication and how humans process memories. Forms of Narrative is a short film installation piece that invites the audience to imprint their own memories upon the film. The film itself then acts as a medium, providing a visible and physical form that is constant and neutral, whilst also adopting new meanings that are individual to each person who views it.

Human forms and skulls to do with themes of life and death are the main subject of my current work. I explore body as both a living form and as a skull or skeleton. I use mixed media combining materials such as tissue paper and acrylic paint.
