my art journey
Over the years of my degree, I have started exploring different materials, and where they can take me as an artist.

I like its strength, flexibility, and impact. As
Over the years of my degree, I have started exploring different materials, and where they can take me as an artist. The materials that I have started to work with are metal, video, photography, light, and string. I work in metal because it is not a traditional medium for female students. I like its strength, flexibility, and impact. As I work with new materials, I am learning new processes for making art, and finding new ways of expressing ideas visually.

my art journey
My art is becoming a body of work like a story. There is a starting point, which is developed along multiple paths, and it leads to a finished work. However, there is always something unresolved which leads me to make more work and to investigate further. My work considers different issues from how students and local people are struggling
My art is becoming a body of work like a story. There is a starting point, which is developed along multiple paths, and it leads to a finished work. However, there is always something unresolved which leads me to make more work and to investigate further. My work considers different issues from how students and local people are struggling with the cost-of-living crisis, to understanding people’s paths when they are traveling on a daily basis. Whilst my work on video has tended to be direct and political, my sculptural work tends to be abstract and concerned with form and structure.

I am currently working with string because I am interested in making connections, in making pathways and patterns, and from this, making stories. I feel that I can use string as if it is a pencil or paintbrush – I can use it expressively. I hope that my artwork invites a reaction from audiences – that they will want to understand it and will see their concerns reflected in it.
My artworks
I made this piece of art for my foundation year.
I found a white plinth that is usually used to display art. I applied PVA paint with added sand for texture using a pour over method.
I was interested in the movement of the paint, how it mixed, how it dripped.
I liked how the paint dripped on to the floor, overflowing the bounds of the plinth. The paint itself was meant to be the artwork.
I made these sculptural works for my level 4 end of year exhibition.
I made large helixes without supports. I was experimenting with gravity, looking at how well the materials kept their form.
It was an abstract idea, focusing on the properties of the metals and paints.
From this, I developed my thinking in how to exhibit, how to make more impact, and how the viewer would move around the piece.
This work is a continuation of my sculptural work for level 4 of mu degree. It consists of a series of three spirals in sheet metal displayed on the studio wall.
•It represents my response to the exhibition space, and my continued work with sheet metal. It is indicative of my development with forms and materials
This piece was created for level 5 of my degree. I went to a local park to take photos of my work near a climbing frame because my piece looked echoes the structure of a climbing frame. The two pieces were in dialogue with each other. I liked how the dead leaves echo the nodes at the joints of the sculpture.
This was created for a mini-exhibition in Staffordshire University. I started experimenting with making the sculpture look like it was falling off the plinth. It is a continuation of my interest in the tension between gravity and structure.
I experimenting with multi-coloured lights in amongst the sculpture. The networks were inspired by fungus networks. The lighting added colour, mood and emotion. It was the first time I considered lighting and its effects.
