The work of the artist Kat Abott, is influential in my work, particularly where she uses textures and colours to achieve a certain outcome. I strive to replicate the same qualities in my own work.
I chose to take my inspiration from my family. This can take on so many different forms, as it comes on a subconscious level. I explore this method of work through a series of digital drawings using images of my family’s eyes, focusing on familial recognition. Visualising the familiar by using drawings of a specific facial feature, echoed through generations, is a key consideration within this series of work. I made intentional decisions through this process to have the drawings of these features face the viewer, capturing family in a moment of time and placing the works where they engage with the viewer directly.
