new series "inner beauty"

I came up with this idea on a friday night after a few sneaky whiskeys whilst listening to the classic rock of jimmy Hendrix, i saw the idea of expressing the feelings that are inside a human to come out and show that we are more then a machine.

Paper

this work is about how our innocence can be taken from us within a flash, how we where once pure, and how we are like paper and can be torn to pieces from war. really this work has many meanings it is really a work designed for the viewers to be drawn in and to decide there own meaning from this art work.    

my inspiration

i have to say i love this song to much, it is a big part of my work :)

still working with paint

this is my work that i have been working really hard on the past couple of days. 

these works all represent something unique, the first one is obvious it is a human polaroid, the second represents Poisson and that i am referring to is alcohol even though i do enjoy the stuff it still makes me want to curl up into a dark hole for days on end the next morning, the third one is about that nothing can divide us and that we should stay strong to who we are and what we are, the fourth one is about pain/ anger emotion and how that we contain it with in use like a ball there is no way in knowing when we will release it and last but not least i call this one growth, from being grungy and down in the rocks reaching for the sky to get where we want to be in life.

working with paint

okay so i had the idea i want to make a folio and the theme is working with paint. i have had a couple of crazy ideas but one that stands out the most that i have recently completed is  what i like to call caged  
it represents our life in society how we are controlled and there is no way of escaping.
