My current practice focuses on Grief and Absence explored through lived spaces, this is visualised in oil paintings using muted colours and brushwork techniques to form a blurry illusion representative of memory.

These paintings search for value in inanimate things and question what makes a room feel empty. The process and time spent on them create a personal, visual diary to reflect on the process of grief, I guide my thoughts and feelings through the images I formulate as an outlet for pain. This body of work presents a familiar energy illustrated in these rooms that encourages viewers to resonate with. This body of work intends to allow for time to reflect on lost memories and nostalgia.


Mae fy ymarfer cyfredol yn canolbwyntio ar Alar ac Absenoldeb drwy astudiaeth o leoedd byw, a chaiff hyn ei ddelweddu mewn peintiadau olew gan ddefnyddio lliwiau tawel a thechnegau gwaith brwsh i greu rhith aneglur sy’n cynrychioli’r cof.

Mae’r peintiadau yma’n chwilio am werth mewn pethau difywyd gan gwestiynu beth sy’n gwneud i ystafell deimlo’n wag. Mae’r broses a’r amser sy’n cael ei dreulio arnynt yn creu dyddiadur personol, gweledol sy’n adlewyrchu’r broses o alaru, rwy’n llywio fy meddyliau a’m teimladau drwy’r delweddau i greu allfa ar gyfer pen. Mae’r corff o waith yn cyflwyno egni cyfarwydd sy’n cael ei ddarlunio yn yr ystafelloedd yma ac yn annog gwylwyr i gyseinio ag ef. Bwriad y corff o waith yw rhoi amser i ystyried atgofion coll a nostalgia.

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...
