Figurative Life Drawings
In my recent series of life drawings, I strive to capture the essence of the human form through strong, expressive line work.
Each piece is a reflection of my experiences in real-life drawing classes, where the dynamic interplay of movement and stillness inspires my creative process.
I am particularly drawn to the fluidity and form of the human body, and I aim to convey this through my use of bold lines that flow seamlessly across the page.
My approach emphasises not just the physicality of the figures, but also the emotions and stories they embody.
Through this work, I invite the viewer to engage with the beauty of the human form, appreciating both its strength and vulnerability.
Each drawing is a moment frozen in time, a celebration of life and the art of observation.

Shibari / Kinbaku
The word 'Shibari' came into common use in the West at some point in the 1990's to describe the Japanese bondage art 'Kinbaku'.
There seems to be a lot of confusion on what is and isn’t shibari and what the differences between the two really are.
Shibari is a Japanese word that broadly means "binding" or "tying" in most contexts, but is used in BDSM to refer to this style of intricate, decorative bondage.
As an artist, I find Shibari to be a compelling means of exploring the human form. The intricate ties and bindings create a unique opportunity to portray flesh and limbs at unnatural angles, challenging traditional representations of the body. This artistic exploration provokes deeper discussions about female sexuality and compliance throughout history, inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities of power dynamics and the nature of desire.
