I’m developing a portfolio of miniature model work which focuses on creating atmosphere. The work tends to be personal to me, expressing my feelings and experiences as a welshman, a trans man, a bisexual person, a witch, a person living with mental illness and many more characteristics that have shaped my time on this earth. In my opinion, understanding is the only path to acceptance so, through colour, light, atmosphere and space I venture to create work that expresses what it’s like to be me.
I create this type of work because I don’t feel like I could express everything I want to express through a 2D piece. I like to use 3D objects made with my own two hands, lights that have been wired exactly as I want them to, colours, empty space, hidden features and sound to create a full picture of the space I want to illustrate.
The way I see my work developing in a commercial way is theatre set design, animation and video. Maybe it could be exhibited in a gallery in a dark room, lighted purposefully to absorb the audience in the work.
Thank you!
