The artist investigates the physicality of making and viewing, as well as the process of its own creation through explorations of movement, mark-making, and viewer participation. The work immerses the viewer in a way that makes them more than passive observers; they are part of the creative process and just as important to it as the artist. The viewer is invited into an experience that makes them aware of themselves, their body, their movements and their own viewing.
The artist was born in the West-Midlands and has a strong connection to dance, performance and drawing; with both traditional and non-traditional materials; such as charcoal and string. Often these are used in connection with each other, using dance and movement to influence mark-making and drawing as a method of documenting these past movements. Dance is used as a method of creating lines with the body which form the basis of the drawings. The use of shadows enables the marks to emerge from the surface of the wall and also gives the viewer control to view and explore the work how they see fit. The movement of drawing is something that interests the artist together with how it is seen and read by the viewer. Drawing which emerges and disappears within itself and drawing which creates a performative experience.

Wolverhampton School of Art Graduate Showcase 2021
We are delighted to announce our end of year graduate showcase highlighting the work of our final year students in Art, Design and Screen based subjects.
Over the last few weeks we have had a film crew on site in the School of Art recording student experiences and their work. The last year, has undoubtedly been a huge challenge to students and staff in the School of Art. We have found ourselves working at home in make-shift spaces and often with limited materials and kit. Our staff and students have been hugely inventive in finding opportunities and outlets to keep learning live - and this, in itself, is a testament to our creativity and resilience as a sector.
