ABOUT ME

​

Recent graduate of CSAD 2022, after studying fine art from 2019-2022. Since loosing her father at the age of 15, and struggling with mental health issues ever since, now at the age of 22 creates art as a reminder to express inner dialogue. Not only to remind herself to do so, but also to encourage those who fall upon her work. Hoping to encourage creative spaces to be safe from judgment within art and conversation that stems from it. Currently a resident artist at the self founder studios Shutter Studios (@shutterstudioscdf) in Canton, Cardiff.

"I am interested in language because it wounds or seduces me."           ―Roland Barthes 

 

Within my practice, I place myself in front of the empty composition with paint and a premise. I proceed to build from this and intuitively feed my creative process through allowing personal vulnerability and cathartic release. Using semiotics of colour and language to relate to points made within the art, solidifying the context which is being read. Exploring the topics of mundane life, intrusive thoughts, stigmatised discussions such as LGBTQIA+ and feminist issues, mental health, grief and how we, as people, react to them.  

 

Building tension not only between the explicit and implicit, poetic like text to open and close consumer narrative, but also through domination and submission. Using confessional, text based art to highlight the weight of which words can be used with set intention and the value reclaimed language can have when placed into a new context. All created through the lens of a female presenting artist in hopes of inciting conversation that may not have otherwise taken place.
