"The primary intention for my body of work was to experiment with screen printing and emulsion transfer and to see these unconventional techniques form a place within the modern artworld. Whilst screen printing was the main focus, the pieces had major influence from my love of philosophical studies, mostly surrounding innate human experiences, ranging from romance, to vulnerability, to the taboo of death. I feel that the amalgamation of these emotions were pivotal in driving my choice of imagery and emphasised Romanticism as a key inspiration. Along with the philosophical themes, black and white halftone patterns from photoshop and negative space were staples within my work, inspired by the works of Gerald Laing and Sherrie-Leigh Jones, not only connecting the work aesthetically but setting the emotive tone of the messages within the artworks."
