I am a visual artist from South Yorkshire. I draw lines and play with spraypaint. My work is primarily about honesty, love, patience, fragility and quiet melancholic defiance. The process is a balance of egoless simplicity thrown against daunting levels of detail. The choice to draw patterns by hand rather than on a computer is because I like faults and imperfection, its impossible to draw a perfect line by hand, therefore my lines act as a personal graph of my own faults and failiure. I hope you like my work but its more about dealing with myself and people who shape my thoughts rather than pure aesthetics, I am trying to please my own soul rather than your eyes. Thankyou for taking time to look at my work. Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is a neologism for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclée" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". It was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints.
