within my work so far i have been looking at the human form and the flaws within it, i suppose my intrest stems from a personal point of view due to the fact i damaged my spine when i was 15. it healed incorrectly causing Scoliosis – a medical condition in which a person’s spine is curved from side to side. Although it is a complex three-dimensional deformity, on an X-ray, viewed from the rear, the spine of an individual with scoliosis can resemble an S, rather than a straight line.
My scientific interest stems from my fathers influance as a rocket scientist, and being brought up with chemistry sets and experiments, this then led me to study my sciences at a level along with my art and eventually choosing art at university.
so technically im deformed although you wouldnt know it from looking at me, which is why i started thinking about how people do get judged on their deformity because it is visible and how really we are just made from the same elements, the same chemical make up that is out of our control.
