As part of my second presentation for Professional Context I wrote the above Manifesto to keep me honed in on issues I want to tackle and concentrate on..............

Manifesto

•           I will always use organic materials to produce work
•           I will continue to be ethically responsible by using recycled and re-claimed materials in my practice.
•          I will endeavour to depict the fragility of life through my work
•          Concealed, hidden and unwanted matter & materials will be manipulated to redefine its aesthetic qualities
•          Making, exploring and doing will be my continued way of researching
•          The ‘haptic’ will drive my practice forward; the sense of touch through making
•         I will bring attention to the physical aspect of life through my creative practice
•        I will endeavour to communicate my work and outcome to the wider/international community through the World Wide Web     

 
         
Going Forward; I will endeavour to bring attention to the otherwise discarded and unwanted through the remaking and reworking of organic materials. Transforming these materials into beautiful objects or pieces that will provoke conversation and questions as to what they are made from and how they were made. Inevitably my aim is to draw attention to the ‘real’ and physicality of life and the need for us as a society to reflect on how we contribute to the growing destruction of our planet. Through slow making and reflective processes I will highlight how precious the little things in life make a big difference.
