Description

“Itzpapalotl Totem” -14.05.2020

The background is assortment of mixed fabrics that were hand-stitched and painted with various  colours and textures. The details include, hand-sculpted polymer clay faces and Aztec style symbols. The deep-set wooden frame is painted with metallic tones and decorated with buttons and beads. This project was inspired by the Aztec goddess ‘Itzpapalotl”.  This has become one of my favourite artworks of the year so far. I put a lot of thought, time and care into this piece.

  • I am a multi-faceted artist. I have been making various forms of art all my life. My days are spent putting work, passion and love into the things I do. I'm very experimental with a lot of my art. I like to improvise as I'm going along and let my subconscious mind express itself through different methods and materials. My art is the most important thing to me because it is my therapy. In times of distress and sadness I bury myself in creativity and work. I'm autistic as well as regularly suffering with anxiety and depression. Life is an uphill battle and since childhood I've always found that creating is my only true solace.

    My most recent projects have been focused around mixed media textile art. In addition to this I also sculpt clay faces and either alter or hand-make dolls and anthropomorphic sculptures. Some of my accomplishments as an artist are; illustrating 15 children's books for author Chrisi E. Da Pavlova, selling artworks and handcrafted items on Etsy and Ebay for over 8 years, having my art featured in American author Tantra Bensko's book 'Word Swell', earning a First and National Diploma in Art and completing a year studying Illustration, BA Hons at Lincoln University.
