I have found that my work is centred on the emotion of discomfort , explored through the destruction of perfection . I am captivated by the relationship between a work of art and the feelings it can evoke . Another aspect of this fascination is with the human figure , and the variety of media that I have explored to display the body in differing manners . As time has progressed , I feel that my art has done the same , venturing out of the confinements of the general artistic world , leaping over personal boundaries .
I have worked in multiple media , including painting , sculpture and photography , extrapolating varying emotions from the viewers , enjoying the freedom that these processes offered me . I have been heavily inspired by artists such as Jenny Saville and Mike Dargas , who took the normal and manipulated it to their liking . I believe that art has the potential to affect emotions to a great extent , and the viewer is the most important in this practice . I wished to exploit the beauty in naturalistic features to draw the attention of others .
