The burnt and charred paper represent the photographs of the mind. In their midst lies the suspension of time(metal networks drenched in red paint) that we are yet to comprehend. The fusion of the elements of metal and paper represent the different spheres of life coming together. In the midst of it all is your understanding playing with the forces of light and shadow.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My deepest desire it to create. In doing so I procreate a manifestation of my mind. What I have learnt over the course of my first semester is how my individual transition has contributed towards my growth. It is my own personal journey and pain that has altered the fluids of my memory allowing me to think differently

It is less paint, more passion. It is less thought, more instinct.

I am happiest when I begin to comprehend ideas and comprehend visually the structure of my mind. My work and my art brings to light the inner workings of my psychology. While it is twisted and convoluted my craft represents the latter. It is as though when I create, I understand more clearly the dynamics of my own mind. Thoughts and philosophies finally reach their conclusion. It is a feeling of elation that I can not describe. It is my own personal brand of heroine. My highest high and my most profound moment of existence. It is during that brief moment in time that I believe my purpose is understood. The process of manifestation has a moment of elation that is indescribable. It is as though the artistic process has a journey. It begins with me confronting the assignment at hand only to analyse different interpretations of the same idea. It is followed by frustrating moments of self doubt. Finally we encounter that rapturous moment. It is as though the light from the heavens gravitates me towards a realm of possibility. Everything else around me is dark. The light only shines upon me. Only I exist.
