About Me

My photo
Esoteric Illusions is the work of 9 local artists, who aim to create a space where diverse practices come together to create something which cannot be defined by medium or the individual artist's intention. When exhibited together, the works create a dialogue and take on new meanings in the momentary context. The exhibition explores work from print makers, textile artists to ceramicists and multi media artists. In the simplest of terms ’Esoteric illusions’ highlights the irony and illusion of the ‘exclusive pretention’ of modern art, which is actually enjoyed by the masses. In promoting ideas of blurred lines between practices, the title allows the exhibitors to let their ideas absorb their work without restrictions of a themed exhibition. Though each artists work is individually created and stands alone, when viewed as part of the show, curated in the beautiful location of the Walcott Chapel, they are complimentary and allow further meanings and implications to spring forth. The exhibition shall take place between the 4th and 10th April 2010 at The Walcott Chapel, Bath.

No one likes change –Project- Exhibition Work


       Examining change in a personal way has been the central investigation in my current project. Art for me has never before been truly personal or conceptual; but this illustrated emotion has, in hindsight only benefited me with my work, allowing clear direction and personal motivation.
‘No one likes change’ is extracted from my personal memories of a difficult time. This, in broader terms has allowed an insight into the contradictions of the controlled and uncontrollable aspects within ‘Art’. I am also exploring the idea of pursuing the mistake, allowing it to perhaps change the direction or encourage and benefit the spontaneity of my work in an otherwise controlled structure as such.
The use of colour suggests warmth and familiarity and juxtaposes with the phrase suggesting change, There is a range of medias within this body of work, and simultaneously explore text, the visual and the audio, in the use of sound waves to give direction of line, and illustrate change of direction.
In essence the current work explores the juxtaposing feelings of good and bad change, the contradiction of controlled and the uncontrollable, and amid that, using a colour palette of comfort, warmth and stability.
