This piece encourages the viewer to reflect how, on a daily basis, we use our given skills and talent in unintentional artistic endeavour.Its intention and aim is to encourage us to re-evaluate what is often experienced as mundane or automatic in the execution of seemingly non-artistic tasks.These undertakings, whilst often appearing simplistic and without challenge, often actually encompass one or more abilities which may not readily be identified by those engaged in their application.
I am a creative practitioner based in London. I previously studied animation in South Korea and illustration at Kingston University in the UK. I am currently developing my own style and perspective as a creator, with a radical approach to drawing, and finding pure joy in the process of creative discovery.
