Statement 2009

Change is an opportunity for discovery, promise and challenge. A new location and art environment prompted a search for creative space, fresh aspirations and an individual course pathway ‘defining a direction and endeavouring to confront my position in relation to contemporary art.’ Arts Institute Bournemouth.

Many plans and ideas have come and gone and objectives are emerging.
In my work, I remain individual, constantly open to innovation and interested in the world around me, current events and contemporary life. Recent works engage research into mixed printmaking mediums; digital photography and computer image manipulating software. Previous figurative oil paintings questioning social issues have been temporarily set aside. The resulting ideas, generated through this exploration of creativity in the mediums of photography, printmaking and oils, coupled together with active learning and enquiry, will lay the foundations for an individual body of work.
