Stanley | Roots In Identity

Stanley, the first son and first in the village to go to the city for school. When WW2 broke out he was conscripted into the Russian army but let himself get caught by Germans, as it seemed better than staying.

Roots In Identity | Degree Show 2023

Artist Statement 06/2023 My practice has a basis within traditional sculpture, with a contemporary approach to the context. The process comes hand in hand with the outcome, which includes research and thematic exploration. Together the result becomes complete. My choice of medium is wood for its intricacies, space for symbolism and the varied possibilities of creating. Most recently my research […]

Many women have to face hormonal conditions and illnesses that affect not only their physical well-being but the psychological as well. Leading on from my previous sculpture titled ‘Struggle’ that mainly covered the physical aspects (and specifically approaches to Motherhood and fertility) of dealing with conditions such as PCOS, I wanted to focus on the psychological experience this time. Going […]

I was torn between Prague and Canada as in part I […]

Fourth year. Here we go. As last year, the semester started with a transition project that would be exhibited to present our intentions and themes for this final year before graduation. First of all, I chose wood. This is the material I am most interested in, and hope to direct my practice through the exploration of this medium. Alongside this, […]

Statement of Intent 22

Over the past few years, I have been exploring themes surrounding self-exploration and dissecting of identity. A major part of my life was consumed recently by health issues, and so was what my work evolved around. However, I was able to make a conclusion that depending on the nationality the importance that is placed on motherhood differs. This influence of […]
