Graduation: June 20, 2013

Member type: Artist

If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Drawing, Painting, Photography, Printmaking

I am...: an incredibly full time student at DMU in Leicester, UK. My current loves (and they are prone to change!) are painting and print and simply anything I can collage. I have a passion for photography and will try anything once!

About my artwork: "Dark but delicate" is how a fellow student described my work and I rather like that. I am very much finding my feet with lots of new techniques, and loving every minute of it.

Artists I like: Robert Rauschenberg, Angela Inscoe, Amy Wasserman, Tracey Emin, Cara Walker, Paul Klee, Kathe Kollwitz, Guy Garnier, Olivier Fischer, Paul De Reus, Jenny Saville, Ron Mueck, Kiki Smith.

Interests: Photography, reading (mostly crime novels), walking in rural England, listening and singing (rather loudly and out of tune) to anything from 80s pop/rock/punk to more current drum and bass. Oh, and finding out as much as I can about my learning difficulties (Dyslexia, and associated problems).

What exhibitions are good at the moment?: I shall be using the summer months to find out!

Centre of the artworld:: New York, London, LA, Berlin, Beijing, my studio, online, nowhere and everywhere, another city

Crits and Presentations.

It's been all talk talk talk at university this week. And it seems, there's more to come. I don't mind all the talking but I don't half feel like I've missed on a whole week of workshop/messy time because of it. But at least today I was able to get some paint onto board! At the advice of my paint tutor I have bought clear varnish, and I have added to that various fillers and paints. I had a bit of a play around with it this morning so looking forward to see how they turned out… Continue

I like to challenge the viewer, get them to think andto raise issues that are either dismissed because they "happen somewhere else" or "happen to someone else" and are are not openly discussed. This often means I have to self censor when the audience is "family" orientated in a gallery. I find by having an ambiguous title that images are more readily accepted and that some of my more challenging pieces get through.

I look forward to seeing more of your work.

I used a more basic baby form for a performance/photographic sessions at art school - the images seem to disturb some people. What kind of comments have you had? Sioux
