My illustrative practice is often frivolous and fanciful and done for the pure pleasure of creating. It usually involves animals and a joyful carnival atmosphere but can also take a more serious representational form. This body of work is mostly 2D mixed media but occasionally becomes 3D work.
My Fine Art practice is concerned with ideas around what it is to be human. It often reflects my personal experiences and tries to link those experiences with that of others. It is a way of creating meaning and investigating inter-human relationships. The mediums vary hugely and are led by the work and what it is that I am investigating. It is usually 3D in nature and can range through ceramics, found objects, aluminium and wood. The work is not led or constrained by the mediums themselves.
