My Word


Miscellaneous
Mis – cel – la – ne – ous




I chose the word miscellaneous because I think it is relevant to me, how I work and who I am.

The works of other artists which I am inspired by are nearly always installation based, composed of a variety of objects and mediums. My own studio practice reflects this as I work within several mediums whilst sourcing reference material from different avenues, not always creatively based. I like installations such as Supermarket Sarah’s ‘walls’ of miscellaneous objects as it has so much character and life because of the stories each item has to tell.

A miscellaneous collection of objects is much more interesting and visually exciting than a clinical approach, which I believe takes the life and colour out of art. With this in mind it comes as no surprise that I manipulate my briefs to fit my style of working and adapt its requirements in my own way.
