I am...: a person

About my artwork: Through the form of self portraiture my work focuses on contemporary themes of censorship, consumerism, love, identity and individuality. My strategy takes a personal approach, interweaving my life with my art, using it to question the conscious and unconscious social structures and pressures that I experience daily. The processes that I use are often of a repetitive nature, being more interested in the doing rather than the done. Through my approach I do not seek to find definite answers (as I’m unsure as to whether truth exists), rather I wish to personally explore society’s views of freedom, existence and identity, and also the dehumanizing ‘myth’ of individuality.

The centre of the artworld is: nowhere and everywhere
