About The Artwork
When a person starts their life, it has several paths, journeys and tangents that it can go down. When it all comes down to it, the question is: did that life stayed grounded? Or, did that life transcend the normal, and the expected? Inspired by a quote from Gil Scott-Heron, in his book ‘Now and Then: The Poems of Gil Scott-Heron’, this piece invites its audience to question what the sum total of their lifetime equated to. The rug used in the work has a dual symbolism. Firstly, its basic function, as something trod on, something that stays on the ground. However, it also arguably connotes an idea of magic carpets. It is the paradox of these ideas, coupled with the foetus like image, which forms the basis for this piece, and hopefully, the basis for some important questions.

United Kingdom
1990, England By questioning social norms, contemporary culture and current artistic practices, my practice is meant to challenge what we expect from our society and ourselves. Primarily my practice stems from an examination of what it is to be human. Physically, Metaphysically and Socially. Although the main body of my current work deals with digital photography and photographic manipulation, I allow the idea to inform the material, rather than the other way around. I am particularly interested in Deleuzian notions of the body (as examined in my undergraduate dissertation 'Plastic Trauma: How Physical Interventions to the Human Body are Perceived in Contemporary Art', for which I won the University of Plymouth's 2013 Critical Studies Award) and Darwinian notions of evolution. I utilise theories such as these to underpin my work. Narrative also features strongly in my practice, in a variety of forms.
