Artist Statement
Well been along time since i have been on here started this the first year of art school and now have graduated and finished but thought i would use this to get my art out there ill start with my artist statement i had for my art school graduate exhibtion
My intended themes and areas of conceptual focus are about the struggles we have with our bodies. I am inspired by the body, skin, shape and emotions. my work is about the female shape and how we should be happy with our imperfections. As your body changes, so does your image of yourself. Lots of pepole have trouble adjusting to this, and this can affect their self-esteem. But for some reason we as people struggle with our bodies. We are obsessed with images of beauty and our bodies with the fear of getting old. My concerns in my garments and photography are the pressure to fill the mold of the perfect women and the struggle we have with out bodies and the feeling of being trapped in our own bodies.
I will some photos of my exhibition up soon

STATEMENT
I live in Dunedin and music, cartoon and Japanese culture are my major influences for my art. Im am obsessed with materials and fabrics and prints and bright colours bbut also loiike dull coulours depending on my mood. Im really into hoods and headwear atm and wouldnt mind getting into making a raqnge of different hoods, also badges and paintings of cartoon style characters. I wouldn't mind also making my own cartoon about my characters that i paint and print. I'm really into street art, softtoys and clothing. I do my paintings mainly on big pieces of hardwood. I have had one exhibition but only sold one thing to someone that wasn't my family that was when i first decided i wanted to be an artist, my work was mainly sculpture then made out of clay but now want to more go into textile sculpture.
