“As I grow as an artist, I’ve become increasingly aware, concerned and motivated surrounding issues of ethics, human rights, sustainability and political impact through my creative practice. The changing roles and responsibilities of the artist are therefore more relevant today than ever before.” I am interested in using my conceptual skills and my ability to tune into changes in social trends in order to help change perceptions and create positive social change. I would like to make art accessible to as many people as possible, including more hard-to-reach or vulnerable individuals. After investing thousands of hours into this genre, I am beginning to understand how the almost simple act of creating a mural, or using spray paint to engage with people who find it difficult to “join in”, is a powerful communication tool.
