Narratives in Art.
Narratives in Art is a living archive of my practice, a space to document, process, and think out loud. Posts might follow a new work, a small observation, an exhibition, or a question I can't yet answer. There is no fixed agenda here, only an ongoing record of how the work develops, where it leads, and what it is slowly becoming.
“Belonging” by Amanda Thomson.
In this blog post, I reflect on Belonging by Amanda Thomson and its deep exploration of memory, place, and identity. Through my personal connection to the themes of the book, I explore how raw landscapes strip away labels, offering space for deeper self-discovery and emotional resonance that informs my artistic practice.
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.
