Artist Statement

Although we have to write proposals for our negotiated programme and I have been told to keep redefining what I'm doing and why, I found the prospect of writing an artist statement difficult  so I looked online to see what an artist statement sholud include as a starting point. Here is my my first attempt at trying to write at an artist statement;

I am influenced by fashion, tribal adornment and jewellery in general, as well as the idea that restriction and discomfort are elements accepted within most cultures when it comes to dress and adornment.  I like the use of simple shape and form repetetively and am also drawn to the use of acylic and how the use of the laser cutter can give interesting and precise outcomes.  As a tactile person I try to create work that encourages touch (or at least the desire to do so). My piece is a sculpture inspired by the idea of restrictive adornment however it also can be worn.
