Colour
A recurring
feature in my practice is bright
colours. I cannot say I work
with one medium in particular, as I explore all different
aspects in my portfolio. Drawing is the medium I explore
most, however I am drawn to photography that can give
a surreal view of reality. I work with images alongside
artistic writings I’ve done.
With art I find it easier to translate my thoughts and
emotions, for communication is a weakness for me. This
goes back to my dyslexia; some part of me feels like
an outsider because my sense of language differs from
others. I suppose it is the child-like empathy, which is why
art gives me creativity from the difficulty in communicating,
especially in written language. Art welcomed me into
a warm embrace to continue speaking out loud with a
visual noise of colours. Some have critiqued my style,
but I conclude that it is my own Madeline-ish madness in
the moment.
There’s an assumption that artists can draw a straight line
perfectly, I cannot. The stereotype of abstract art is that
anyone can do art, even a child. That these questions
or statements occur is frustrating, by using this as a
reference, I humor the amateur style of art.
