Artist Statement

Creativity shows up differently in every Artist’s studio.

This Artist’s Creativity was not a cheery sort. This Artist’s Creativity was a beast with an unfiltered, unapologetic darkness within.

For had it not been ignored, suppressed and jeered at for countless years, waiting?

One night, Creativity spat at the Artist;

“Bring me the stuff of your ordinary life, your daily grind, your lived experience. Bring me the

materials you discard, the dirt, the grime, your tears and pain. Bring me the labours of your mother,

grandmothers and all your history –  and I will show you, Artist, who you really are ….
