Oil pastel on paper 42cm x 30cm
“I usually like to focus on creating mix media collages and photography and film photography, however throughout these lockdowns i have been trying to expand my skills within a range of new techniques and media’s, such as oil pastels, clay work and even work on photoshop and other online editing and manipulation programmes. As well as this i have recently started to enjoy working on different installation pieces and artwork with deep, emotional and even political meanings; as an artist i really want my work to have an impact on its audience and i find focussing on subjects such as the female body, mental health and what it means to be a woman creates a space for people to relate to my work, want to know more and maybe even want to participate with future installations and collaborative pieces.”
