My diary... My life in black and white
Personal and Artistic Transformation
At the heart of my artistic expression lies a profound exploration of mental health themes. My creations, predominantly rendered in black and white using pen and pencil, serve as symbolic windows into the human psyche. From the expensive canvas of A2 paper, I extract emotions that resonate beyond words. Described as both edgy and distinctive, my work emanates a raw power that transcends conventional expression.
Healing Through Creativity
My art has been my steadfast companion through personal trials, saving me as a therapeutic tool that has not only facilitated my recovery but has also extended its embrace to others. Within its monochromatic strokes lie emotions of anger, depression, confusion, and the haunting feeling of being adrift. It encapsulates the struggle for survival and the intricate nuances of mental turmoil, enabling observers to connect with shared sentiments.
Community Engagement & Collaboration
My journey has intersected with diverse groups, including women's collectives and elderly care homes. Notable collaborations include Spectrum and showcasing works at the Slam Dunk Hospital Gallery. Through these partnerships, I've witnessed the transformation or potential of art in fostering connectivity and healing.
The Unexplored Palette
While my current focus orbits around personal satisfaction, I acknowledge the uncharted terrain of colour. Although Claude Monet's master reignited my exploration of killers death during my academic journey, I've yet to infuse this vibrancy into my artistic endeavours. This avenue beckons a space right for development and expansion.
Sculpting Beyond Boundaries
My creative odyssey extends into the realm of sculpture, revealing edgy 3D artworks that mirror my unique voice. The tactile engagement with the medium serves as an additional therapeutic channel, elevating my connection to the artistic process.
