ARTIST STATEMENT

Shadows of Struggle revolves around well-known author, Shaun Hick’s quote: “you need to spend time crawling alone through shadows to truly appreciate what it is to stand in the sun”. My works travel along the footpath and pavement of the CBD, passing the homeless. I hope to emphasise that struggle within everyday life can come from all perspectives being social, economic and cultural. I can relate to struggle personally through unfortunate incidents with family and close friends. As you experience the ‘shadows’ of my work, I challenge you to truly appreciate the next time you ‘stand in sun'.
