ARTIST STATEMENT


“I WOULD CALL MYSELF A PROCESS ARTIST BECAUSE I QUITE LITERALLY PROCESS LIFE
THROUGH DIFFERENT ART FORMS, FOCUSING ON THE JOURNEY BEYOND THE OUTCOME. ART
ACTS AS A TOOLKIT FOR ME TO CONSTANTLY PROCESS, HEAL, AND EVOLVE MYSELF.”

I am a being from London who connects with the universe through art. I would
call myself a Process Artist because I quite literally process life through
different art forms, focusing on the journey beyond the outcome. Art acts as a
toolkit for me to constantly process, heal, and evolve myself.

My creative process is led by the world around me, by means of universal flow,
connectivity, and individual self-expression. This process is tied together by
curiosity, play, reflection, and discovery through key themes including
intuition, memory, spontaneity, and chance. Through these themes, I compose and
recompose the vibrancy and energy I perceive, manifesting in abstract visual
forms.

The creative process is a game in which the world is my sketchbook, drawing upon
my key themes. I achieve this through blind techniques, where the composition is
often spontaneous or driven by chance.

For example, when my father passed away, I sought to feel connected to joy
again. Inspired by Camille Walala’s colourful work, I started acquiring
children’s colourful paper packs to create landscape cutouts. I recalled how
Tristan Tzara created Dada poems by cutting and rearranging words from articles
in a bag. I applied a similar idea to my collages, pulling pieces out of the bag
one by one to form random compositions. This example highlights how my work has
helped me to process a major life event but also shaped and influenced my
current painting practice, which is underscored by automatic drawing and random
colour choices.


FAQS

 * WHERE DID YOU STUDY?
   
   
   I studied my Foundation in Art & Design at Wimbledon School of Art in 1998
   and specialised in Graphic Design before completing my BA (Hons) in Fine Art
   at Central Saint Martins in 2004. I also studied as a Lecturer in Art and
   Design at The Institute of Education, UCL but that’s a whole other story!
   
   

 * DO YOU EXHIBIT/SELL YOUR WORK?
   
   
   I am starting to exhibit and sell my work again after a reprieve. Working as
   a Stock Photographer, I sold images as licenses through photo libraries such
   as Getty Images. I also contributed to Bridgeman Images which is a Fine Art
   orientated library and will be continuing to do so with more current work. I
   think both avenues carry equal value and look forward to offering my work as
   licenses and physical objects.
   
   

 * WHO HAS BOUGHT YOUR WORK?
   
   
   I have sold a mixture of Art work and licenses of Fine Art & Photographic
   imagery to many different people and companies including and not limited to
   the BBC, Bird & Davies, Clerical Medical, 
Le Figaro
, Microsoft
, Oxford
   University Press, Rosebud Productions, The Huffington Post, YAHOO! and
   Wiley-Blackwell.
