'Small Windows of Marginal Opportunity' signifies a new direction in my practice, brought on by my recent opportunity to embark on PhD research at Southampton Solent University, where I am working closely with Dr Nicola Foster.

 

I'm currently researching existing attitudes towards different societial groups, and exploring the effect of these attitudes on our daily lives. I'm currently making a collection of newspaper collages to reflect the complexities of contempoarary Western life. I have been drawing on current newspaper stories and their images from the - Daily Telegraph, Guardian, Daily Mail, Independent, New York Times, The Times and New European.  I am also looking at the work of collage artist Hannah Hoch and her contemporaries during the Dada movement. Along with the work of John Stezaker.
