I find that there’s no better way than Mixed Media art to capture the emotion, thoughts, and stories of the subjects I aim to encapsulate. I create 3D sculptural assemblages (box sculptures) that connect the viewer to the essence of the scene in order to tell stories, evoke feelings and experience unexpected and surprising perspectives through a rich palette of colours, light and found objects and the repurposing of other materials they are mis en scenes. Minatare 3D interiors depicting the residual psychology of the person who inhabits them.
Box Art
Portraits Of the Mind/ House Boxes
The main focus of my work is Box Sculpture Art, I call these “Portraits of the Mind”
I make boxes and objects from household and other sourced recycled materials and interpret them into autobiographical meanings. I arrange the objects into miniature interiors and 3D narratives informing the viewer of the story within. They are like cupboards of the mind and are thus called “Portraits of The Mind”, as I believe that you can glean much of a person’s mind through the homes and interiors they inhabit/use and thus is what is shelved in the storage of their minds.
Books
Multiple Positional Display Books:
My other category of art I focus on are the bookbinding and Artist Books. Some of the books I have created are multi-positional display books that have wooden covers where I hinge together one or more books by one of the wood covers on each book, thus creating the possibility to display them in many different positions. These were initially based on early or ancient Greek books that came into existence after the scroll format of reading and writing recordings.
