Lotus blossom Painting

Primitive Love is part of a new series i m working on, called #TeenageMyth Based on memories, about teenage hood Following an initial interview, a dialogue between me and my subject can last up to several weeks. I therea er spend days in my studio translating their emotions into a gra- phic vocabulary of nely-detailed works on paper. ese works are mainly rooted in the technical, and traditional methods of engraving, including dry point, burin, etchings, and embossing, and then hand- nished using watercolour, pencil and pen-and-ink. I also uti- lise a range of mediums to further construct their stories, for examples, video, engraving, drawing, painting and writing. Each unique piece is o en accompanied by a video recor- ding, or poetry, where I take on the persona of the subject and perform a monologue based on their story. e overall aim of this approach is to archive the individual stories of my sitters, and in doing so, provide them a “nurturing” place in history. It is my goal that in adopting a com- bined approach, it allows both myself and the material to be at service of the story being told, and thus, feed an emotional database, a type of anthropological work that requires a mnemonic approach. For me, all these « loose notes of sorrow » are above all a return to more empathetic art forms, which are crucial in society.
