NOT YOUR KIND OF ARTIST: Parts 1 - 4 (Ongoing Project)
Started in 2017A number of the projects/exhibitions I have done are related to new media art experimentations and art installations and how cognitive psychology plays a role in my self-expression. I try to make my creative process more accessible by taking advantage of the endless possibilities of new media technologies. Some of my major influences have been mathematics, music/sound, science and technology etc. Most of my digital images begin with abstract illustrations generated from scratch or a photo/video to convey mysterious unfamiliar beauty. I experiment with depth and texture, dramatic colours and my ideas, utilising the relationship between art and technology to connect the results through experimental narratives. I am a fast learner and open to learning new ways of art-making. One of my significant interests is to explore different artistic methods to help with psychological disorders, self-development, memory, problem-solving, consciousness, creativity and thinking. Having a free mind to experiment and try things out without knowing where it will lead is essential. This approach allows discoveries, which is part of the creative learning process. I believe that this is a significant aspect of socio-emotional development, and it improves a better way of living. There is no need to label and categorise the artist that can result in; negative stereotypes that may hinder the creative process. I am working on a series that focuses on the various things that influence me to experiment and create and not exclusively on my perceived identity. The series is NOT YOUR KIND OF ARTIST. I want to utilise the framework of this title to shed some light on what are misunderstandings; occur when the viewer becomes more engaged with the artist personality and lifestyle and less engaged with interpretations and experiences generated from the artist artworks themselves. As an artist from the Caribbean, specifically Jamaica, I must put myself in a box and focus on particular themes/subjects. There are four parts to this ongoing series:
