About Me

My photo
Leeds, United Kingdom
I am studying the MA Advertising and Design, and have completed the BA Art & Design, also at the University of Leeds. With my work shown below, I had been exploring the properties of light, and the colours and shapes and forms which can arise through manipulating it. I explored this through the use of many different painting techniques, and I am currently exploring surface texture, and alternative techniques to applying the paint to the surfaces, ie. I avoided using paint brushes and prefer to work directly from the paint tube, or roll or press the object onto and into the paint, getting as involved in the creaton of a piece as I can. My work therefore takes on creation and a design through physical process. I have made studies of fire flickering, candles moved around a camera on a low shutter speed, fireworks exploding and laser projections.

Open Studio Event

Our School of Design held an Open Studios evening, for visitors and friends of the artists who use the Studio spaces to come as a social occasion to informally view everyone’s progress from this semester.
I had to prepare my studio space for viewing, and so elevated my 3D work off the floor so as to make it more accessible for viewers to see, and although I displayed my main canvases along the wall, I still presented some of my other work along the floor of my space, in keeping with my creational practice.
The evening was thoroughly enjoyable and an educational occasion to take a step back from my work, and try and view it as everyone else saw it; as something interesting and diverse, and something which they could happily stare at for hours to try to learn more about it.
