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.
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.
“Understory”.
Repurposing discarded office frames as canvases led to Understory, a piece exploring memory, balance, and belonging. Using my new Chinese painting set, I experimented with ink grinding, layering, and the interaction between paint and space. Inspired by the forests of Loch Tay and the concept of the understory, this work reflects on the haziness of memory and the unseen layers that shape our connection to place.
