In my practice I explore ways in which the body can be presented. Since early High School, I have been fascinated with the human body; no two are the same and I am interested in this concept which is why I show bodily features in different and questionable ways. I don’t want to unveil the body completely, more so make bodily suggestions. My style has developed over time, focussing on more abstract and expressive figuratives rather than realistic depictions. The themes prominent in my work are identity, loneliness and anatomy. The combination works well to produce sculptures and paintings that show the human state in a fragile, vulnerable form of existence. Though my works aren’t very pretty or appealing, I wanted to deliberately show them in unpleasant states. My work is raw but embodies life and the living today; how delicate we and our bodies are in this world. Artists such as Berlinde De Bruyckere and Louise Bourgeois have informed my work, their styles being similar to what I want my work to achieve. Rather than looking like actual figures, the abstract form they take shows emotion and expression which is much more powerful.
