BA (Hons) Fine Art


My art work is based around science and space, it explores the developing changes in the universe and is influenced by different theories, facts and ways of thinking. Through my investigation of space I have explored different paths of thought.

My main interest is about how technology has rapidly changed by examining the way people first felt about discoveries and the ways in which we see them now. Technology is forever changing and for that reason we see a constant growth, this becomes evident throughout our history and because of this space becomes clearer.

Although we will never have the perfect image, it continues to get better as it has throughout history and with the development of technology. With this Ive created a comparison of the Orion nebula but in different times. The piece is created with wool to mimic how space looks, it gives the impression of being soft and gentle. This work shows the differences between the two eras. As the first one is a representation of a photograph taken in 1880 and the second is a representation of a more recent image.


Mae fy ngwaith celf yn seiliedig ar wyddoniaeth a’r gofod, mae’n archwilio’r newidiadau sy’n datblygu yn y bydysawd ac mae damcaniaethau, ffeithiau a ffyrdd o feddwl gwahanol, yn dylanwadu arno. Drwy ymchwilio i’r gofod rwyf wedi archwilio llwybrau meddwl gwahanol.

Mae fy niddordeb pennaf yn ymwneud â sut mae technoleg wedi newid yn gyflym drwy edrych ar y ffordd roedd pobl yn teimlo am ddarganfyddiadau ar y dechrau a’r ffyrdd y byddwn yn eu gweld nhw nawr. Mae technoleg yn newid drwy’r amser ac, oherwydd hynny, gwelwn dwf cyson. Daw hyn i’r amlwg ar hyd ein hanes ac oherwydd hyn daw’r gofod yn fwy clir.

Er na fyddwn byth yn gallu creu’r ddelwedd berffaith, eto i gyd mae’n parhau i wella fel y gwnaeth drwy hanes i gyd ac â thechnoleg newydd yn datblygu. Gyda hwn rwyf wedi creu cymhariaeth o’r nifwl Orion ond mewn gwahanol amserau. Mae’r darn wedi’i greu â gwlân i ddynwared sut mae’r gofod yn edrych, mae’n rhoi’r argraff o fod yn feddal ac yn dyner. Mae’r gwaith yn dangos y gwahaniaethau rhwng y ddau gyfnod. Mae’r cyntaf yn cynrychioli ffotograff a dynnwyd yn 1880 ac mae’r ail yn gynrychiolaeth o ddelwedd fwy diweddar.

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...
