ABOUT

Art is a form of expression with endless possibilities. Art represents me as a person whether that's through subject matter or materials. I consider myself a maker, who thinks by materials and an artist who likes to inform and educate the viewer on everyday environmental problems caused by human behaviour. I explore the boundaries of the ever evolving pollutant dilemma. I have an interest in the industrial revolution and try to introduce it into my work as it created the extravagant shift in everyday life, it altered the way we live, and the actions future generations will take. My work provides a juxtaposition between the natural beauty of nature and man made destruction. Often including informative elements usually referencing pollution, plastic, waste and mass production. I want to make a difference to how people see and understand world topics, whether that's through a beautiful painting or a memorable sculpture.

 

I have a particular interest in painting, I feel as though it's a very free material and I can create and express myself through my work. I also enjoy sculpture and relief work because it lets me bring my ideas out of a page and can form a whole new feeling and transform the look of my art. I believe material is a primal aspect of a thought provoking, developmental process. The importance of materials is one of the most fundamental aspects of art. When I think of art, the first thing that comes to mind for me, is material because materials affect the creative process. Absence of material will play a role in losing importance in the work. I also like to create digital prints as a way to create multiple works in a more sustainable way.

 

I am inspired by the world around me, working from observation, I feel as though it gives a piece of art, movement and meaning. I like going and doing quick sketches and working into them afterwards because the atmosphere of a place can change from the original feeling and that can be shown throughout the process.  My main source of inspiration comes from questioning anything in our society that tends to harm or impact nature or the environment.
