My practise focus’ on 2 main themes, power dynamics and identity, largely in the context of LGBTQIA+. I use these themes from both a personal point of view and wider community view, allowing me to make personal work as well as work that everyone can place themselves inside of. Using a variety of materials in my practise which include print, collage, sculpture, sketching/drawing, film and publication, I explore things from different avenues, but mainly use the process’ of print and collage. Having begun focusing on a specific area, Print, I have been able to produce work I feel is truly indicative of my approach to an art practise. I have been able to explore new printing techniques, mono-screen printing, etching and risograph, which, through trial and mistake, have become pivotal within my practise. The themes of power dynamics and identity were easily explored through my materiality of choice, using materiality as a way to initially construct ideas. The materiality is also considered as I want it to inform the artwork itself. The main contexts for my work come from the wider LGBTQIA+ community, exploring the boundaries of gender, sexuality and queerness. Exploring gender identity, homosexuality, homophobia, the history of gay culture and the notion of “self” presented inside this community I have been able to dive deep into further queer research material. By its definition the LGBTQIA+ community is not binary and therefore my practise explores these different avenues. I view my work as a prompt for conversation, I see the conversation as a continuation of the artwork, and just as important as the artwork itself. I therefore view my work as a vessel for communication, It’s important to have conversations around these social issues with anyone to understand each other’s points of view and educate each other to move forward constructively as a society. I want to promote the viewer to explore their place in a wider context to world or an object.
