My work considers memory as part real and part imagined, we use this to navigate and gain a sense of place and understanding of our enviroment
MessageCollection: Liminal
The Liminal collection plays with memory and imagination and the space that lies between. Two of these drawings were included as part of 'Imaginarium' 2025, a multi disciplinary installation investigating transformation, duality, and the hidden narratives embedded in the world around us, often reflecting on socio-economic culture. The pieces look at moments of both harmony and tension that form our everyday experience, revealing connections that might otherwise go unnoticed. This project examines the shifting identity of place, the interplay of natural geometry and perspective and how shapes can play tricks with our mind. Using waste material sculptures to cast shadow shapes, the drawing evolved into extroplated interpretations, leading to recicprocal making of new sculptures. Intuitive compositions blend expressive mark-making, layered perspectives, and vibrant contrasts of form and colour bringing energy to the work.
