Narratives in Art.
Welcome to "Narratives in Art," a space where I explore the stories behind my creative practice. As I navigate my journey through a master's in fine art at Central Saint Martins, this blog serves as both a reflective journal and a platform to share the evolving processes, inspirations, and challenges that shape my work. Join me in uncovering the layers of meaning and experimentation that define my art, and discover the narratives that unfold along the way.
Reflections On My Third 1-2-1.
As my first academic year draws to a close, I reflect on how far I've come - from overcoming fears of being perceived to reimagining how I make space for my practice. This post explores the shifts in mindset, energy, and medium that are helping me find momentum again.
Kees Stoop: Leven En Werk.
Translating Kees Stoop: Leven en Werk from Dutch to English as I read added depth to an already intimate portrait of the artist. More than a biography, the book reveals the quiet power of Stoop’s simplified landscapes and poetic approach to art.
Writing As A Companion To My Art Practice.
In this piece, I reflect on how writing has become an integral part of my art practice - providing a place to process thoughts, capture fleeting ideas, and rediscover a quieter kind of creative strength. From the corner of my guest bedroom to notes written on the go, writing has helped me find rhythm, voice, and a way to listen more closely to what my art is really trying to say.
Trees & Self Reflection.
A reflective essay exploring the quiet sanctuary of wild landscapes and the enduring connection between the human body and trees. Through personal memories of the Cairngorms, late diagnoses of autism and scoliosis, and evolving ink-based art practice, this piece contemplates belonging, embodiment, and the stories carried in both bark and bone.
