One of the aims within my practice is to communicate to an audience (however big or small), hoping to engage with them through atmosphere, tone of voice, and the visual impact of what I create. I would describe the things I make as 'insular but inviting' - they often don't make sense at a first glance, but I would hope that this provokes viewers to read, decode, and interpret the images for themselves. Whether this ends in complete understanding or total confusion, it doesn't really matter.
My work features humour, surreal imagery, ambiguity, words and phrases, and references ranging from historical to personal. I think that this eclectic mix of stuff creates a characteristic that is hard to identify, but is in no way limited.
It is important for me to continue finding pieces of information that expand on this vault of influences and reference points, as well as processes and approaches so that my work doesn't become too formulaic.
