Being playful….

What’s the trait you value most about yourself?

Definitely has to be ….being creative, tenacious and playful.

And how much I love to digress when words jump at me….

….as part of my MA Fine Art I had to create a ‘manifesto’. Always assumed ‘artists statements’ were something me kind of goal posts but (how wrong was I?). I absolutely love the manifesto I wrote for myself….going to do my utmost to honour it (till I don’t…not)….going to make it my vision board to work to always!

Create an archive of memories

By listening to the world around you

Capture images that stop you

And sounds that call you

Relive moments by creating a narrative because objects tell a story and words create a path

Colour is music that plays with space

So dance to the tune that you see in your dreams

To truly live a life that you lead

Spontaneity is the watchword that informs my art practice. My artwork celebrates the energy of abstract expressionism. 'why not?' underlines my creative process. Forget the box! Its obsolete...it's all about whatever shape you want to throw on that dance floor! The process drives my practice!! For me, work well done is work I have thoroughly enjoyed making...work that has made me think, sweat, cry, scream and come back for more!!! Work that gets my back up; pushes me...gives me cause for doubt. Makes me push in order for 'why not?' to become possible. Boundaries? What boundaries?
