Artist Statement

I use graffiti techniques, layering colour and images with resin to make wearable objects. The pieces are often self-referential with the image as the link or method of attachment: a drawing of sewing hands embroiders a brooch to a garment or an engraving of drawing hands draws a line around the neck to secure a brooch. Each object is a fragment of my body and its unusual placement on the body, draws the attention of the viewer. Drawn or engraved images on the matte surface of the resin give the impression of a tattoo.

The photographs I produce alongside the pieces inform my making practice, while being creative works in their own right. They are often sequences of images captured in flick books and illustrating fragments of time during the making process.

I documented my artistic practice on my apron, building up marks with drawing and embroidery. The resin pieces are a translation of this process into objects.

I see my work as occupying two planes: striking imagery of the body and striking imagery for the body.

Donning Oxford-Exhibition of Studio Jewellery at the 03 Gallery, Oxford, UK at O3 Gallery, Oxford, UK

June 2, 2012 at 11am to July 1, 2012 at 4pm
The forthcoming exhibition at the O3 Gallery “Donning Oxford” prompts its artists and audience alike to re-evaluate relationships with the city and to explore and stretch the notions of how or what it is to 'don' Oxford. The artists exhibiting at “Donning Oxford” encompass a wide range of methodologies from conceptual to material exploration. These artists use ‘jewellery’ as a medium or subject within their practice to question assumptions about jewellery itself and to raise questions and…See More

hi shadi -

thanks so much for your encouraging words. i'm always glad to make a new friend. i'm digging your bold use of color, and i'm especially into the ghostly blue imprints on the neck of your model (slide 14). hope to see more from you! :-)

Hi Shadi- thanks for the comment on the crayon ring! I did a series of 10, but even though I uploaded the others to crafthaus, they seem to have disappeared. Some of the colours in the other rings are a similar colour scheme to some of your pieces, which I enjoyed seeing at the Life's A Bench show (saw it at BCU as well as in Munich). Thanks for the friend request, looking forward to seeing where your pieces are going.

Thanks Shadi. I really like your work as well. the Life's a Bench show is great too. Are all the works being photographed by the artists? The images are really outstanding. Congrats!

In your statement you talk about images of hands drawing, etc. are you speaking figuratively about the work or are the images in the layers of color?

Best,
K

290° - The first of the Scottish degree shows

It is that time of year again, when the degree shows in Scotland all kick off. As usual, the roll is started by Dundee's Duncan of Jordanstone College of  Art & Design - DJCAD for short. Regular readers of my blog will know that Dundee is my favourite Scottish city and has been for many, many years, so it is something of a surprise to realise that until last…See More

Third time's the charm...

I keep trying to write this blog and get it posted but I seem to run into self inflicted road blocks. I was hoping to have something running by Wednesday. First, I have 2 computers and Ive done bits and pieces on them both. Second, I cant seem to find a wifi hook up when I need it or when I have the draft I want to post. On top of that, there's been very little time away from the conference or visiting family for me to go onkine. Finally, when I was going to post this afternoon, the battery…See More
