My artwork is centred on the theme of depth and perspective . I was drawn to this by my interest in how ordinary sights can be manipulated to look completely different through a change in perspective or depth perception . Throughout my work , I explored various mediums that each impacted my theme differently . I was initially inspired by a photo I took of a New York street which seemed almost to draw the viewer into the photo . This prompted me to explore depth and how it can mislead you . I first did this by creating a sculptural wire piece within a picture frame . Another medium that I chose for its interesting effect on my theme was clear acrylic layers . These distort the engraved buildings when looked at from the sides . From the front , the layers add depth to my two-dimensional drawings . My interest in architecture also inspired me to create a series of prints that layered images of a building I had photographed . I found this to be an effective medium to play with perspective . Overall , focusing on depth and perspective allowed me to explore various different mediums , and it was fascinating to see how each process opened up a different side to my theme .
