How does sustainability affect our surroundings and how does it affect our lives? Are we living every day in ways which are creating positive or negative effects on the environment we live in? Is this something we could be taking more seriously or is this something we choose to ignore instead of facing the problem at hand? Are we really educated on what’s going wrong in the environmental world or is this something that is kept from us? The focus of my work is to spread awareness about environmental harm through the power of art. Using mixed media collage techniques, I hope my work can give people a real glimpse into what we aren’t always shown in the newspapers. I think art has the power to speak to people, in a way in which we are unable to speak to each other and can send an extremely powerful message.

Sustainability is something that is very close to my heart and sending powerful messages around this subject has become very important to me.


Sut mae cynaladwyedd yn effeithio ar yr hyn sydd o’n cwmpas a sut mae’n effeithio ar ein bywydau. Ydyn ni’n byw bob dydd mewn ffyrdd sy’n creu effeithiau cadarnhaol neu negyddol ar yr amgylchedd rydym yn byw ynddo? Ydy hyn yn rhywbeth y dylem fod yn ei drin yn fwy difrifol neu ydyw’n rhywbeth yr ydym yn dewis ei anwybyddu yn lle wynebu’r broblem sydd wrth law? Ydym ni wir yn cael ein haddysgu ar beth sy’n mynd o’i le yn y byd amgylcheddol neu ydy hyn yn rhywbeth sy’n cael ei ddal yn ôl gennym? Ffocws fy ngwaith yw lledaenu ymwybyddiaeth o niwed amgylcheddol trwy bŵer celfyddyd. Gan ddefnyddio technegau gludwaith cymysg, rwy’n gobeithio y gall fy ngwaith ddarparu cipolwg go iawn ar yr hyn na dangosir i ni bob amser yn y papurau newydd. Rwy’n credu bod gan gelfyddyd y pŵer i siarad â phobl, mewn ffordd na allwn siarad â’n gilydd ac y gall anfon neges hynod bwerus.

Mae cynaladwyedd yn rhywbeth sy’n agos iawn at fy nghalon ac mae anfon negeseuon pwerus o gwmpas y pwnc hwn wedi mynd yn bwysig iawn i mi.

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...
