Garland

2025
Displayed at 'Art by Chance’, The Mill Gallery Aire Place Studios, Leeds. February 7th - 28th
Simultaneously self-aggrandising and cripplingly unsure of one's self, the artist's display is one thwart with mixed emotions and perceived double meanings. Presenting a bouquet of rosettes with phrases of ambiguous judgment, Garland (2025) attempts to cynically celebrate the cliches of every struggling artist in conversation with their audience.
