The Cedric Ford Art Exhibition opened this week at Nottingham University’s Jubilee Campus. The prize was won by Helen Hamblin. Her beautiful work Untitled consists of two very sensitive graphite drawings.
Seeing the show I decided that I’m lucky to be included with my drawing Unstable self.

In the age of the Selfie my work challenges the conventions of self-portraiture. I make drawings that are informed by my senses - touch, sight, movement. My intention is to use my own sensory experience to create self-portraits but not to reveal a representation of my body. Instead the work is a record of my shifting perceptions. In making the work I am seeking to capture my own vulnerability on a journey of self-discovery.
