I am interested in using the metaphor of the city as a cell or the city as the human body, made up of vital organs, the heart, arteries, veins that keep the blood flow and keep it alive. I like to make connections how out of control things can get living in a city, in terms of over population, traffic jams, crowds, pollution, environmental issues, waste in the same way a cancer cell gets out of control and multiplies. I am concerned with the impact we are making on the environment and want to investigate this through my art practice and using various processes and materials such as these cell images, the human figure, taking inspiration from artists such as Wangechi Mutu and Ben Perry. I am also interested in using found and waste materials.
