“The
use of kitsch incorporates the commonplace to
intentionally question society’s morals
in a formal way.
My interest is
how I merge urban culture and perception: the
way we look at the world, building up an image
of the whole from different fragments of travel
(looking and reacting to culture) and humour (universal
language). I try to embrace, yet challenge aesthetic
traditions and their critical interpretations.
Everyone absorbs
influence, I chose mine carefully then my style developed
as part of my personality. My technique is useful
because it enables me to do something valid; it isn’t
the objective it’s the means of creation.
Each painting
is created by the obsessive labour of stitching. The
viewer is drawn into the work by the sublime, found
in the sparkle of glitter, the sumptuous textures
and vivid colours in which, the ‘cute’
layered appearance camouflages the crude and seedy
(mimicking our own consumerate culture)”.Lisa
Ashcroft
