The foundation of my current body of work lies in the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi: exploring the beauty found within transience. From finding a rotting garment by a stream to a stream of consciousness, my current collection travels through ethereal, abstract landscape style paintings into figurative ink drawings that investigate the subconscious. My work is extremely cathartic. I spend hours slowly manipulating the ink to find the right composition and sometimes when its dry writing streams of consciousness on top of the work. This painting features another girl and an owl. I styled a photo shoot for a jewellery designer a couple of years ago and was struck by this girl and her strong features, she reminded me of a gentle but strong bird and when I began drawing birds and animals I immediately thought of her. I have been wanting to create a story like content to my work for some time now, I feel this painting and the piece entitled 'Rising Waves' are both turning points for an allegorical direction I am keen to follow. The painting is mounted in a white window mount with a standard, white, wooden frrame.
