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.
Reflections On My Second 1-2-1.
These 1-2-1 tutorials always feel like a valuable pause - moments to recalibrate and refocus my direction of study. This second session reaffirmed that I’m on the right track, while also opening up new avenues for experimentation. We explored the role of negative space in my work, the idea of balance in Chinese Brush Painting, and how translation - of memory, place, and emotional resonance - continues to shape my practice. I left the tutorial with a renewed sense of confidence and excitement, eager to push my work further, both in scale and concept.
