I believe art should encourage people to connect and to ask universal questions about what is happening in the world. It is difficult to say how my artwork would look but I would employ the same working processes as I have done for my degree show. This means using laboratory imagery and equipment along with human and animal elements. My images have been combined into a moving projected piece with constructed sound. Whatever I produce, the aim is to prompt questions. |
