[PAINTING]
Explorations of the In-Between: A Journey into Inner Landscapes In the realm of the tangible, there exists an ethereal space that transcends the boundaries of the physical world – the in-between. It is within this metaphysical realm that my multimedia drawings and paintings take root, delving deep into the enigmatic landscapes of the psyche. My work serves as a visual expedition, navigating the uncharted territories of the inner self. Through an interplay of mediums, I construct a tapestry of imagery that speaks to the ineffable experiences and mysteries that dwell within us all. Through a visual language, I seek to capture the elusive essence of the in-between – the subtle whispers of intuition, the fleeting glimpses of insight that emerge from the depths of the subconscious. In my exploration of inner landscapes, I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and contemplation, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the mysteries that lie beyond the surface of everyday existence. By creating a visual language that transcends words, I endeavour to spark a dialogue between the conscious and the unconscious, inviting viewers to engage with their own inner landscapes and embark on their own journey of self-exploration. Ultimately, my work in painting and drawing is a testament to the boundless depths of human consciousness, a celebration of the inherent beauty and complexity of the inner world. Through the interplay of drawing and painting, I invite viewers to immerse themselves in the infinite possibilities of the in-between, where the boundaries between self and other dissolve, and the true nature of existence is revealed. Each stroke of the brush, every line drawn, is a portal into the depths of the soul, inviting viewers to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery. Within these inner landscapes, time and space converge, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. It is a realm where emotions resonate like echoes in a vast, echoing canyon, where thoughts manifest as ephemeral wisps of colour and form.
[INSTALLATION]
Urban Dissonance: Unveiling the Fabric of Modernity My installation work converges sculpture, video, audio, and found objects to unravel the intricate layers of experience within developed modern cities. These environments, while bustling with life, often serve as a backdrop to a subtle alienation, entangled with methods of social control. Through the amalgamation of mediums, I construct immersive narratives that delve into the dissonance between the urban landscape and the human psyche. Sculptures crafted from found objects serve as relics of urban life, juxtaposed against video projections that capture the frenetic energy and isolation of city living. Embedded within the auditory landscape are echoes of urban cacophony, mingling with curated sounds that evoke a sense of detachment and unease. Together, these elements form a visceral exploration of the ways in which modern cities shape and manipulate our perceptions, imposing structures of control upon our daily lives. My installation work serves as a reflection on the complexities of contemporary urban existence, inviting viewers to confront the alienation inherent in modernity and question the systems of power that govern our lives. Through immersive experiences and provocative imagery, I aim to foster critical dialogue surrounding the social and psychological implications of urbanization, ultimately challenging viewers to envision alternative modes of living and being within the urban landscape.
[DIGITAL & DESIGN]
Within my artistic repertoire, I embark on a multifaceted journey that navigates the intricacies of personal and collective narratives and the mechanisms of control present in modern society. Through a diverse array of mediums and outputs, each facet of my practice offers a distinct lens through which to explore these themes; weaving together narratives that probe the depths of identity amidst the complexities of modern existence. Through multimedia expressions spanning drawing, painting, sculpture, video, audio, and found objects, I illuminate the multifaceted dimensions of the human experience. At the heart of my exploration lies the notion of identity, a politicised fluid construct shaped by various forces, namely those of urbanization and social control. In my multimedia drawing and painting, I delve into the inner landscapes of the psyche, unraveling the enigmatic mysteries and experiences that shape our sense of self. Here, I craft visual languages that evoke introspection and contemplation, inviting viewers to explore the depths of their own consciousness. My work delves into the inner recesses of the psyche, navigating the metaphysical space of the in-between where personal narratives intersect with societal structures. Here, amidst the alienating landscapes of developed modern cities, I uncover the subtle mechanisms of control that shape and confine our lives. Drawing from the visual language of inner landscapes, I evoke the enigmatic mysteries and experiences that lie beneath the surface of conscious awareness. These explorations are juxtaposed with immersive installations that plunge viewers in the dissonance of urban life, highlighting the tensions between individual agency and systemic constraints. Central to my inquiry is the theme of modern slavery – not merely in its overt manifestations, but in the insidious ways in which it permeates our daily lives. Through evocative imagery and soundscapes, I confront viewers with the uncomfortable truths of exploitation and manipulation that underpin our socio-economic systems. Yet, amidst the darkness, my work also offers glimpses of resilience and resistance. By challenging prevailing narratives of identity and power, I invite viewers to envision alternative modes of existence – ones that transcend the confines of societal norms and reclaim the autonomy of the self. Ultimately, my practice serves as a call to action, urging viewers to interrogate the structures of control that govern our lives and to forge new narratives of liberation and empowerment. In this era of uncertainty and flux, may art serve as a catalyst for collective reflection and transformation.
