Hello there!
I am an artist that likes to delve and contrive various concepts and ideas. My creative process is a series of reactions to what is going around me. It is my concept that decides what materials and tools I will incorporate. As someone with no predefined obssessive mastery over a certain area, I am constantly learning and adapting new skills for the required project. See more of my work on the URL listed.
Projects
- Oragami CVInitially I just wanted to make a snazzy CV to stand out but then as the thinking process started to developed I wanted to encorprate the creativity I was claiming to have in the the physical design, paper folding was introduced to me at a young age with my mum showing me how to make boats and hats and I think this is very much a ode to her setting off that spark in tiny me. Folding video coming soon*
