BA (Hons) Fine Art


My current practice aims to demonstrate the paradoxical relationship between the crossing over of boundaries of both the physical world and the cybernetic world. Through doing this the work addresses the physical and psychological effects social media and digital technology are having on my generation.

My interests are founded by my constant fascination with the idea that validation is sought through social media. These are shown through platforms, such as; Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. This is further explored through the use of a variety of different mediums including; video, text, Images, performance, and drawing in the expanded sense.

By incorporating influences from the internet, social media platforms and digital media, my aim in making work is to highlight the disparity between the imagined and the real. This opens up a multifaceted set of possibilities for visualizing our constant battle with individuality.


Nod fy ymarfer presennol yw dangos y berthynas baradocsaidd rhwng croesi ffiniau y byd ffisegol a’r byd seibernetaidd. Drwy wneud hyn, mae’r gwaith yn mynd i’r afael ag effeithiau corfforol a seicolegol y mae cyfryngau cymdeithasol a thechnoleg ddigidol yn ei gael ar fy nghenhedlaeth i.

Mae’r syniad bod pethau’n cael eu dilysu drwy’r cyfryngau cymdeithasol yn destun rhyfeddod cyson i mi ac yn sail i’r diddordeb sydd gen i. Mae hyn i’w weld drwy lwyfannau megis Instagram, Facebook a Twitter. Caiff hyn ei archwilio ymhellach drwy ddefnyddio amrywiaeth o gyfryngau gwahanol gan gynnwys fideo, testun, delweddau, perfformiad, a lluniadau yn yr ystyr ehangach.

Drwy gynnwys dylanwadau o’r rhyngrwyd, llwyfannau’r cyfryngau cymdeithasol a’r cyfryngau digidol, fy nod drwy greu gwaith yw amlygu’r gwahaniaeth rhwng yr hyn y byddwn yn ei ddychmygu a’r hyn sy’n real. Bydd hyn yn agor nifer o bosibiliadau amlweddog er mwyn delweddu ein brwydr gyson ag unigolrwydd.

My artwork was initially inspired by the rave scene which is usually an intense environment of music, colour and lights. I decided to recreate the feelings that my experience evoked, with the use of illuminative acrylics and spray paints on canvas. As spray painting...

Our species has become increasingly disconnected from nature. I focus on landscapes of personal significance and/or landscapes that have been disrupted by industrial use. Materials from these sites (often rocks, muds, and bricks) are used through a process-orientated...

Non-linear narratives such as unreliable memories, leaky dreams and deja vu are a central reference within my practice. I address the structure of these forms of narrative using repetition, replication and iterations of time. My work is largely sculptural, using...

Exploring the fragmentation of memory through the physicality of found objects and the spoken word, my work has become an archive of my family history. Due to the archival nature of my work, I replicate ways of preserving my objects through the attentiveness of their...

In my current practice I am concerned with the objectivity and phenomenology of colour. Through using media such as light and coloured acetate, my present work is intentionally focused and uncluttered, allowing colour to be considered as a singularity without any...

With a love for colour my work addresses form and shape and the impact this has on a space. I am demonstrating how the use of bright colour can create maximum optical impact. I’m interested in pattern and repetition to create a visual aesthetic whilst whilst working...
