Information
While My Guitar Gently Weeps is part of a larger body of work that alludes to another world through abstraction - a world based on fantasy, protection and themes of escapism. The use of light aims to elicit an ephemeral quality linking the work back to the intangible/ make believe, while the solidity of the objects anchors them to the physical world. Together, they attempt to create a liminal space that elevates the everyday.
I am a multi- disciplinary artist working in collage, photography, video and sculptural installation. My practice is loosely autobiographical drawing from both childhood experiences and my everyday environment, with a desire to remain suspended somewhere between the real world and the imaginary.
