Artist statement
In my work I aim to focus on life, and in particular life on life’s terms. Aspects of life’s journey is important, looking at individual struggles. My work recently, has been influenced by my job. I am employed with NHS Lothian, I am ward based, caring for elderly patients, some of whom are facing death, sometimes known or unknown to them, but always known to me. Working in this area, makes me realise how important our time is, and to live life for today. I would like my artistic work to show compassion, for it to be aesthetically pleasing, death is a part of life, and for most people they do not think about it on a daily basis, but I am faced with death each day I go to work. It is a difficult subject for many, but I try to bring a peacefulness to my work, making it more acceptable. I do not want to shock, or portray death and dying as being something to be afraid of, but more of an awakening, a realisation that death is a part of life.
