ARTIST STATEMENT
Born in the UK and raised in suburban London in the 1970s, I am a British artist working in the field of Contemporary art practice.
My own artistic journey has been deeply informed by my cultural background, prompting me to explore how identities are constructed and perpetuated by popular culture and to question handed down ideas, presented and absorbed as truths. In my work, I hold the possibility of unlearning these old ideas and making space for new ones. By weaving cultural narratives into my art, a self-identifying theme usually emerges in my work; curious rather than confessional in its nature.
I like to reconfigure familiar things to create new meanings.
What is the deep imprint of the collective conscious that we carry within ourselves?
What is it the trace that connects us and what traces do we leave behind?
My own artistic practice is heavily influenced by intuition; I often find that my best ideas emerge when I allow myself to create without overthinking or self-censorship. I am interested in how the opposing themes of rebellion and conformity can be held in the same space.
My work invites the viewer to confront their own paradigms that both shape and connect us in a shared experience.
