Yoga: Body & Mind Series

2017-18

This series of paintings, made whilst on the Turps Studio Programme, was created using collaged imagery and objects, including second hand books and pound-shop purchases. The work focused on aspirational imagery, such as yoga and house renovation guides. As well as an enjoyment of the objects and imagery as found objects, I was also interested in how the aspirational elements related to both art and the wellness industry, drawing parrallels with art movements such as theosophy, which seeked ‘divine wisdom through mystical experience, intuition and meditation’ [Wikipedia].
