...art autobiography...begins inside.|
"As one of the founding artists of Gibson GuitarTown, London project. Where better to prove that a guitar is more powerful than a gun." I fuel my art, I see creating pieces as I did ten years ago- I create images in my mind, then as a surface that others can see. I form each piece to be as visually as strong in my memory as the last piece. This has become one of several overtly symbolic gestures that I make with my art. I feel that I produce particular pieces that are no more or no less important than any other part of me. Some of this consistency for me is in the colour, which retains this knowledge as a clarification of my thought. Anything that I find uncomfortable to clarify or which has an unclear constant as a memory, emotion or thought is worked through this passion I have for creating an image. |
 By being the artist, this process, which I constantly step back from to assess, is like a conversation I have in my mind and then again with the work in progress: "Does it make sense?", "Is there more to say that is necessary?" are among the questions I ask myself throughout the process of creating. |

Initially the outcome for each piece is unclear as I do not use sketchbooks; for me, it is a way not to judge my own work based on conventional art movements or aesthetic design structures. My memory and emotions are my strengths, I see them all played out within my immediate environment-similar to a stage, as forms that create the once intangibility of my thoughts. Open to a series of events and interactions with people that I manage to convey through each mark. This for me makes each piece of art unique from inception through to its completion. |
