Alongside the recent introduction to printmaking, through my studies at Norwich University College of the Arts (BA Fine Art), my current work has expanded into an investigation of the inner self and the human psyche. Essentially, the fascination is with our individual journeys through life and more specifically what shapes us as adults.

A central theme throughout my studies has been the fascination with our individual journeys. My final project represents the commencement of life’s journey and addresses the enigma of whether everything is predetermined or can our paths be influenced by the decisions we make? Incorporating twenty-one images, the composition attempts to encapsulate a representation of life, symbolizing the different challenges and directions life can sometimes take us. This journey can be as unpredictable as the flight of the dandelion seed, with a slight breeze altering our course. Integrating the haphazard flight of the dandelion seed alongside the arrival of a newborn child expresses an ambiguity behind this opening excursion, unable to be influenced through any decisions.
