BIO
I am a Fine Artist studying currently at Southampton Solent University and I am in my second year. Prior to my acceptance onto this course, I attended a B-TEC Diploma in Art & Design at Coventry University School of Art & Design which I passed with Distinction. Previously to that I studied Art, Textiles and Product Design at A-Level, and both Art and Textiles at GCSE level.
I've always worked in a varied and versatile way when it's come to materials, but I've always generally been into photography, sculpture and installation, but who's to say where the experimentation stops? Currently I am working with sculpture using plaster, wood varnish and model railway accessories.
I am a conceptual artist interested in the subconcious behaviour within the cognitive thought processes of the mind, this,specifically in children. Too, how the Psycho-Analytical studies by Pschologists are looked upon as documentation and how one person can be so extently analysed, Yet still these case studies can be adapted and influenced by how that one Psychologist deems their patient to be, but the outcome would still be considered subjective. Still, surrounding Psycho-Analysis, more questions are brought up than answered. This interests me as it is everevolving, yet every Psycho- Analysis' diagnosis or treatment would never be seen incorrect, only individual to that particular Psychologist. My practice is based around my own analogy and essentially entails trains being used as metaphors.
When examining how the brain works in an anxious state which has deteriorated under stress, as an analogy, I would claim that the neurotransmitters, a chemical released in the body will be referred to as trains, the paths taken would essentially be the tracks. These chemicals get sent to the brain to dictate how we are meant to feel, emotionally and physically. Much like the signals from the trains to the stations, this expresses how important the timing for these chemicals (trains) to travel up the nerves (tracks) and to get to the station (brain) on time otherwise the outcome could be catastrophic, as too many or too little neurotransmitters (trains) could cause passengers (emotional and physical behaviour) to become temperamental and potentially loose concentration and become bored, this meaning they miss the neurotransmitters (trains) which would delay their travel and cause their journey to become delayed, this would have a knock on effect if they had a certain time train (neurotransmitter) to catch, this leaving the neurotransmitters nowhere to go, resulting in the train links working insufficiently. For example, a pile up, backlog, blockage or derailing of the trains (neurotransmitters) on the tracks (nerves/ nervous system) at the station (brain), which could also mean a repressed state of mind, anxiety attacks and general deterioration of cognitive processes.

Thus, this is a fundimental part of my current practice and my own analogy has substantially increased my ever broadening research.
