Currently studying in my final year at uni doing BA photography, genuine outgoing person who enjoys discussing ideas and concepts. I have many interests including working with children, cooking and walking around Dorset coastline.

About my artwork

Throughout art history the study of the human form has continually been an area of great interest both scientifically and artistically, both seek to understand its intricate and complex structure inside and out. ‘Figure Studies’ is a body of work that engages with the primitive ideas of painting and photography whilst exploring its indexical forensic nature. The work presents a continual battle between contemporary and traditional, the process is fundamentally using the idea of the photogram as a direct contact print, contemporised by the use of a digital scanner. The body is presented as an object for a universal audience and references a long history within figurative art.
