What the f... is this all about anyway? | A look into the mind of the Artist
Smoke moves without limits. It drifts, splits, thins out and then gathers itself again.
I try to follow that in pencil on paper; some lines disappear into nothing, others stay dense and push further than you'd expect.
Up close it can feel chaotic, like it’s everywhere at once. Step back and it becomes one continuous form. Calm and completely changed from where it began, but still itself.
Colour is where my control gets tested. I’m drawn to saturation, to bold hues that feel almost too much.
When I look at anything, be it art, fashion, interiors... I notice the palette first, and then I notice what it does to me and how I feel.
These pieces are coloured pencil, built up in layers to push toward realism: paint splashes that looks freshly dropped, still wet, still heavy.
I’m interested in that conflict, the weight and intensity of the colour, against the softness of the form.
It’s a still moment that feels like it’s moving.
This is the place I’ve been trying to get to. This collection feels like the clearest expression of what I’ve been circling: a shift in motion you can keep!
The forms are fluid, sometimes dramatic, sometimes quiet, but always mid-moment; like they’ve just shifted and might do so again. I love that tension, something physically solid, almost stubborn, that still looks soft enough to bend.
Each piece is shaped by hand, not repeatable. The way it bends, the tension, the way it settles, it only happens once.
For me, that’s the point. It’s a fleeting state made tangible.
