My artwork focuses on lines and pathways that create and form an image or distortion . The themes of my work are centred on how perception of an image can be changed through the slightest distortion , but I am also intrigued by the continuous line as I feel that it reflects a personal interpretation of spaces which cannot be exactly replicated , reminding me of handwriting . I find the intricate shapes formed by mediums that cannot be precisely controlled , such as plastics and inks , fascinating and aim to create this in my outcomes .
My work was originally inspired by lines and reflections , and how water can alter the way in which we see certain images . Our perception can be further changed by adding mediums that alter the image and create shadows which can be viewed differently at different angles . I found this interesting and included this in my work as I feel it reflects how different people view the world and interpret situations . Along my journey I have been inspired by artists such as El Anatsui , Guy Catling , Ben Nicholson and many more which have all led my art in a certain direction to form my outcomes .
