What if WE are the next software update? What would happen if the virtual became the reality?

Over the course of the year, I have been exploring Net-art; an elusive, internet-based art form and its possibilities. In order to create my own online platform, I have had to learn coding, a computer programming language. A complex combination of numbers, letters and symbols has allowed me to create what you see in front of you.

My online platform invites you into an updated, superior future where you no longer hold the device, but the device holds you. A place where evolution knows no bounds, the possibilities are endless, and the selfies are perfect. What are you waiting for?


Beth os mai NI yw’r diweddariad meddalwedd nesaf? Beth fyddai’n digwydd pe bai’r rhithwir yn dod yn realiti?

Yn ystod y flwyddyn, rydw i wedi bod yn archwilio “Net-art”; ffurf gelf anodd ei diffinio wedi’i lleoli ar y rhyngrwyd, a’r posibiliadau ynghlwm wrthi. Er mwyn creu fy llwyfan ar-lein fy hun, bu’n rhaid i mi ddysgu codio, iaith raglennu gyfrifiadurol. Mae cyfuniad cymhleth o rifau, llythrennau a symbolau wedi caniatáu i mi greu’r hyn rydych chi’n ei weld o’ch blaen.

Mae fy llwyfan ar-lein yn eich gwahodd i ddyfodol uwchraddol wedi’i ddiweddaru lle mae’r ddyfais sy’n eich dal chi, yn hytrach na’ch bod chi’n dal y ddyfais. Dyma le nad oes ffiniau i esblygiad, lle nad oes terfyn i bosibiliadau, a lle mae’r hunluniau’n berffaith. Am beth ydych chi’n aros?

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...
