ARTIST STATEMENT

My work explores the self and the environments surrounding the self. I often use what is going on in the news and myself to create a piece. During lockdown I have been making a lot of work dealing with isolation and how that has been effecting the way I work. My most recent series 'Two Metre Rule' to me is a way to express how I feel the Government have dealt with the pandemic. I have never been able to take Boris Johnson very seriously which is why there lies a lot of humour in this series of work. However, some of the things our Prime minister has done during the lockdown has been rather questionable. I created this series of work to raise these issues to the publics attention in a humorous way.

Although my main inspirations come from the news .I also find inspiration in Sigmund Freud's work about human identity and works by Francis Bacon and Mark Rothko.
