involved oil and acrylic painting, while also having explored screen-printing and collaging for experimental means. The pieces I have created centralise young people in atmospheric settings indicative of student nightlife. I am particularly interested in conveying ambiguous dynamics between characters that may spark familiarity or intrigue in the observer.<\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">My portraits are not sourced from traditional sittings, but from collages of transient happenings that would have been forgotten by the subjects. I am drawn to visually exposing a sensation of freedom in scenes reflective of fleeting impermanence. Young adulthood is full of these as a time of possibilities and newfound independence. A tension is observable in my work between the assumed invisibility of these moments and my, as well as the viewers, surveillance of them as an artwork.<\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">The dramatic application of colour and light in my compositions illustrate this imbalance between privacy and exhibition, as well as creating an emotive ambience suggestive of an unknown, mysterious
