The 'Skilled and Accomplished' project. Coming soon...



















This collage piece 'Skilled {even by lamp light}' is representative of a project I'm gradually developing titled 'Skilled and Accomplished'. The project will be mainly concerned with the image and role of the female protagonist, narrator and heroine within stereotypical (in regards to gender roles) and exaggerated/dream like settings. The title of the project relates to the notion that, as politically correct and inclusive the world is today, old social formality dies hard. Especially when family is involved. At the same time, the project's conceptual theme will refer also to narrative structures, personal stories and the connection of female reader to female protagonist.

Desperate Spaces preview continued


Works for the Desperate Spaces exhibition (Artworkers Alliance fundraiser)



















































The Desperate Spaces exhibition brings together and extends the possibilities of found object (be it meaningless scrap paper, torn map or an ace of diamonds) and individual innovation/experimentation. Every participating artist was sent an envelope party pack full of found/aged 2D materials. The theme was to produce one or a series of small scale works from the 2D materials. The images posted are the result of my own experimentation.
