STATEMENT
My practice is about very personal issues to me and how I am creating these through art. I am interested in conveying messages and narratives through art and what they can say to others.
There is a cathartic approach in my work, in opening up my thoughts I create empathy which is really important for me as an artist.
I study how I react to life and what I want to show of myself to the world. Sometimes this is fragile and sometimes this is bolder.
Methodology
I dye, draw, paint and stitch in to fabrics to create narrative pieces about the symptoms of menopause, I use a bold, limited colour palette to challenge myself to create a stronger piece which could be through minimal stitching, ripped fabric or painting.
Practice
My sketchbooks are my lifeline, I write down ideas, works, cuttings, photographs to keep all these thoughts so I can go back to them and see how they can develop. To my practice on track I reflect and analyse of what the images, words means to me. If them become too detached then I see how I can step back and re-look, re-work the piece to make it more personal and say something to me as a person. I feel that this way I am not only challenging myself but also producing better work.
