Discipline:

Multimedia Collage Artist

Location:

Sheffield

ABOUT:

I create collages on socialist, feminist themes with aims to subvert the male gaze and also vent frustration with the government. My sources consist of vintage ads, 70s mens magazines and current newspapers as well as online images. I also use a mix of acrylics, paper marbling and digital drawing.

My current pieces have been based on the kill the bill protests and the reclaim the streets movement.

20% of all profit goes to the s6 food Bank in Sheffield and I work with other artists to raise money for other charities. Social justice is at the heart of my work and I wish to use my art to raise awareness but also raise funds for marginalised folks.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
