I have focused on making works playful. The motif of the balloon, which is traditionally associated with celebratory occasions, is used throughout my practice. I have explored all aspects of the balloon from the material purposes, to the common use of the balloon. Both the idea of playing with and re-using an object to create something new is explicitly presented in my current practice. By repurposing the initial function of the object it has opened vast opportunities in up-cycling materials as well as creating experimentation, which incorporates a series of different mediums and techniques, to produce resolved works. My work has explored contemporary concepts through its simplicity. It has become concentrated purely on the mediums used to create the works, as each piece has responded to colour composition, which becomes visually pleasing as well as manipulating their regular use in a playful composition.
