Throughout my artistic development I’ve been fascinated by storytelling through art and the new worlds that can be created to feel so alien yet so similar and thriving. I’m particularly drawn to the more ‘grim dark’ side of story telling which I think has the liberty to show a more melancholic and human aspect which is something I’ve always wanted to emulate in my work. My love for storytelling makes me desperately excited to develop my art with a narrative focus, in new digital and traditional mediums which i could possibly take into the film or games industry.
Much of my work is figurative as I feel that there is a lot of emotion and impact that a humanoid sculpture can give us as humans and because we are hard wired to recognise what is human and not. That gives way for interesting ways it can be distorted to bring out certain emotions.
