artist/designers statement

Specialising in Graphic design means that most of my work is based on a specific outcome such as a logo or typeface to reflect a business or product. I start out with several ideas which could only be one word or even a detailed design,which may not develop into anything.

My work experiments with colour, the subject matter of each piece of work determines the colour, materials and the software/materials of which I will use. Sometimes I start off with one colour and gradually introduce more colours that work with the initial colour, or stick to a colour theme which could be as little as one colour depending on the objective. I try to choose colours that are prominent to draw attention. Colour follows changes of emotions and is a unique style of expression. 

By breaking new ground and using conventional techniques allows me to reflect my creativity and provides many opportunities for happy accidents to influence the final outcome. Everything I see, feel and experience are my influence. I regularly view the work of others and research various artists that link to my work for inspiration.

Arnolfini visit

The Arnolfini is one of Europe’s leading centres for the contemporary arts. It specialises in live art, music and dance events, poetry and book readings, talks, lectures and cinema. There is also a specialist art bookshop and a café bar. Arnolfini is funded by Bristol City Council and Arts Council England, with some corporate and individual supporters. Jeremy Rees founded the gallery in 1961, and was originally located in Clifton. In the 1970s it moved to Queen Square, before moving to its present location, Bush House on Bristol's waterfront, in 1975. 




On our visit Neil Cummings exhibition was the main attraction. Throughout the building, from the bottom to the top is a timeline of the Arnolfini that traces  the  Arnolfini's history and its possible futures. The art work is by Neil Cummings who is a professor at Chelsea College of Art and Design. It traces the presence of Arnolfini through three colours: pale blue representing the history of art and Arnolfini, purple for technological innovation, and olive green for social and financial organisation.


My favourite artwork was a small enclosure with mountains painted on two opposite walls and newspaper printed onto the wall in-between featuring raised mirrors that were positioned at all different angles that then reflected the image of the mountains at different angles or when you entered the artwork you could see your self at different angles.
