Typomaniac. Words are continuously present within my work because I have an intense urge for using text. Compulsion. I write until I fill a space by repeating a word or sentences or just writing at random. Layers. I express my thoughts, memories and emotions through text as an act of self-revelation. Disclose. The act of revelation is simultaneously paired with concealment to suggest an uncomfortable feeling associated with revealing myself. Conceal. I cut the MDF into long repetitive strips to reflect the recurrence of my processes. Repetition. I can manipulate the MDF into forming shapes through applying pressure. Tension. I create shapes that are suggestive of the simplicity of text with curves, points, lines and angles. Sculpture. I display a collection of sculptures to represent the way I consistently write and sculpt. Collection. I exhibit my work based on intuition, allowing the moment to dictate what I do in the same way that I write. Automatic. The installation transitions between displays with alterations to the sculptures to enhance impermanence. Transformation. All work is an act of permanence and impermanence from the use of charcoal and paint, to the thoughts, to the sculptures, to the performative installation. (Im)permanent.


Dwli ar deipio. Mae geiriau yn bresennol yn barhaus yn fy ngwaith oherwydd mae gen i anogaeth ddwys i ddefnyddio testun. Gorfodaeth. Rwy’n ysgrifennu nes i mi lenwi lle trwy ailadrodd gair neu frawddegau neu ysgrifennu ar hap yn unig. Haenau. Rwy’n mynegi fy meddyliau, atgofion ac emosiynau trwy destun fel gweithred o hunan-ddatguddiad. Datgelu. Mae’r weithred o ddatguddiad wedi’i baru ar yr un pryd â chuddio i awgrymu teimlad anghyfforddus sy’n gysylltiedig â datgelu fy hun. Cuddio. Rwy’n torri’r MDF yn stribedi ailadroddus hir i adlewyrchu ailadrodd fy mhrosesau. Ailadrodd. Gallaf drin yr MDF i ffurfio siapiau trwy gymhwyso pwysau. Tensiwn. Rwy’n creu siapiau sy’n awgrymu symlrwydd testun gyda chromliniau, pwyntiau, llinellau ac onglau. Cerflun. Rwy’n arddangos casgliad o gerfluniau i gynrychioli’r ffordd rydw i’n ysgrifennu ac yn cerflunio yn gyson. Casgliad. Rwy’n arddangos fy ngwaith yn seiliedig ar reddf, gan ganiatáu i’r eiliad bennu beth rwy’n ei wneud yn yr un ffordd ag yr wyf yn ysgrifennu. Awtomatig. Mae’r gosodiadau yn trosglwyddo rhwng arddangosfeydd gyda newidiadau i’r cerfluniau i wella amherffeithrwydd. Trawsnewid. Mae’r holl waith yn weithred o barhad ac amherffeithrwydd o ddefnyddio siarcol a phaent, i’r meddyliau, i’r cerfluniau, i’r gosodiad perfformiadol. (Di-barhad).

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...
