This work joins my fascination with finding new perspectives through things which are smaller or bigger than they’re meant to be with my love for nature and interactive play. My main piece, a picturebook, explores the nonsensical idea of how we could imagine animals who change as they age, in both name and appearance, growing up, if we didn’t know they were the same creature.
This work was created out of my love for animals, interactive play and the picturebook form. Since I was young I’ve been fascinated by things which are smaller or bigger than they’re meant to be, how they shifted my experience of life and could make me and my world new. My recent work explores this directly and indirectly. The large postage stamp risograph prints attempt to create the experience of being small for the viewer and bring attention to this uniquely minute art form.
My picturebook concept ‘I’ve Never Seen a Baby Butterfly’ explores how we can feel small or big regardless of being young or old. With an overarching question of what it means to change as we grow up, even in striking and unexpected ways, it lightheartedly explores the nonsensical idea of how we could imagine animals who change as they age, in both name and appearance, growing up, if we didn’t know they were the same creature.
