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.
