MA Visual Arts (Fine Art)
Surreal narratives are used to question the effect that our current culture is having on childrenâs future expectations, imaginations and ambitions. I am interested in the way in which gender roles are overwhelmingly reinforced by popular culture and merchandise, as well as how these may have a potential destructive effect on children. I revisit, recreate and represent my own personal childhood experiences of this fantastical, idealised world with the intention of exploring these adverse effects.
