I have always admired art which makes ordinary day to day items or tasks seem extraordinary. Take for example the painter Rene Magritte , his work is of seemingly mundane objects which are placed or entwined within his work to create something truly astonishing . It is the task of turning something which we all pass without glancing at into something which makes you stop and makes you view the world with new eyes. This is certainly what I aspire to achieve within my own work. I begin a piece of work by gathering inspiration from all around. It can be something as simple as a statement by a friend which triggers my imagination for a new piece of work.

With this body of work I have attempted to capture the transience of emotion. I wanted to show how people feel underneath the cold exteriors we put up for ourselves. Most of what happens in our lives we keep as an inwards struggle, it is distorted or hidden from the world. All others see is the outward image that we project or allow them to see. I have tried to remove the external barrier so that we can look directly into the emotion we all feel.
