statement
The work in my portfolio comprises of what was initially an exploration of memories into how a 3 year old me compares to a 19 year old me. I wanted to draw a parallel between childhood innocence and how an adult perceives and reacts to this with fresher experiences and much broader awareness. My work evolved into a more in depth analysis of personal relationships and how they have changed as I have grown older and more observant.
Through experimentation with media, colour and composition, my collage sketchbook helps me to develop initial ideas for final pieces. Collages are a crucial component to my work-not only do they bring a sense of freedom to my work, they also banish any deficiency of creative flow I may be suffering with at the time.
In my current work I have been exploring the transition between reality and unreality. Over the past few weeks I have kept a journal in which I document my dreams through drawings. Not only do dreams epitomise the barrier between reality and unreality, I also believe they reveal many thoughts, fears, fantasies and imagery, enabling me to evolve my thought process in terms of my art work.
Polly Morgan is to me an inspirational artist, her thought provoking work combines beauty and fear with various concepts. Taxidermy is an art form that has always fascinated me, it is a new media I will be experimenting with over the coming weeks.
