Visual Dialogs@ the Laing Art gallery in partnership with Tate galleries. 2005-06.
As a young student I worked in a group to come up with a piece to act as a Dialogue to Paula Rego’s Painting ‘The Dance’. I was also invited back to the Laing art gallery to run workshops in 2008 and mentored a trip to London’s Tate galleries where I lead a discussion with the group whilst I was there.
Personal artist statement:
I understand art to be a language. In relation to my work (physically) this is more important. Overall I’m a thief who bastardises images and words to twist, then to create my own narrative. A lot of friends think I should be nastier in my work or more bullish, I think I corrupt one with another, and hope to corrupt responsibly. The Sublime. If you were to strip art back to its bones, it’s only an expression outside of one’s self; very similar to the spoken or written word (but the complex nature of language is more obscure, or for lack of a better word, expressive). I often joke about myself and that my dyslexia has dictated me to express myself in the making of art.
