BA (Hons) Fine Art

My work evolves from the perception of the female body and occurs through the process of capturing my naked body in a variety of different naturalistic locations. These works are in response to the media’s representation of the female body and its negative effects on women’s mental health. Using the camera to document the light and shadow within the figure’s curves – where the natural beauty is heightened, derives from the core concept of celebrating the natural female body for what it is, rather than what it could be. Using the camera, it enables the exploration of my body, capturing movement and time whilst also investigating how the use of pose may impower the female body image. I am also interested in how the body relates to nature, finding a correlation between female beauty and the outside world. Within society we focus on the inside world, being consumed by technology but here, the naked body emulates the beauty of the outside world.


Mae fy ngwaith yn esblygu o’r canfyddiad o’r corff benywaidd ac yn digwydd trwy’r broses o ddal fy nghorff noeth mewn amrywiaeth o leoliadau naturiolaidd gwahanol. Mae’r gweithiau hyn mewn ymateb i gynrychiolaeth y cyfryngau o’r corff benywaidd a’i effeithiau negyddol ar iechyd meddwl menywod. Mae defnyddio’r camera i ddogfennu’r golau a’r cysgod o fewn cromliniau’r ffigwr – lle mae’r harddwch naturiol yn cael ei ddwysáu, yn deillio o’r cysyniad craidd o ddathlu’r corff benywaidd naturiol am yr hyn ydyw, yn hytrach na’r hyn y gallai fod. Gan ddefnyddio’r camera, mae’n galluogi archwilio fy nghorff, gan ddal symudiad ac amser tra hefyd yn ymchwilio i sut y gall y defnydd o ystum amharu ar ddelwedd corff benywaidd. Mae gennyf ddiddordeb hefyd yn y modd y mae’r corff yn ymwneud â natur, gan ddod o hyd i gydberthynas rhwng harddwch benywaidd a’r byd y tu allan. O fewn cymdeithas rydym yn canolbwyntio ar y byd mewnol, yn cael ein bwyta gan dechnoleg ond yma, mae’r corff noeth yn efelychu harddwch y byd y tu allan.

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...
