"I am a welsh artist, aged 25, and I appreciate, and attempt to create, art that displays craft, expression of emotion and aesthetic appeal.
Currently, I’m working as a Finisher but painting,photography, and the visual arts in general, are my true passions in life.
My artistic studies have been diverse, and assist me creatively. These include:-
Beauty Therapy Level 2
Theatrical Media Makeup Diploma
Photography Diploma
Contemporary Media BA (Hons) Degree
Initially, I focus purely on photography, using a photograph as the foundation of my eventual concept. This, I feel, enables me to make a strong, bold start, with what could already be considered a piece of art. The photograph acts as a kind of automatic palette, determining the colours, tones & structure of the eventual piece.
When I work in this manner, I treat the photograph more as a stepping-stone, a ‘shortcut’ to the heart of an artistic concept or idea. I don’t believe photography exists solely in the documentary sense, & so it can be manipulated or ‘tampered’ with. This ‘tampering’ may consist of deconstructing the elements of the photograph: scratching away the pigment or using water to de-saturate or dissolve colour & light. This altered image may then provide the blueprint for a purely painted piece or be incorporated into a painting.
Another method is to construct: to ‘build’ on photograph with layers of paint in certain areas where the photographic imagery requires emphasis or enhancement. Sometimes the intention may be to conceal certain aspects of the photograph, to shroud the image or not ‘tell the whole story’. Once this developmental stage is complete, the concept could already be fully realised, the piece fully formed. But more often than not, I will take my ideas & convert these into a painted piece that will be the final result.
Conceptully, my work remains ambiguous until the final stages. It is usually only in looking back that I realise what it is I set out to achieve. My work focuses on death & the memory of loved ones lost. I this is key not only to the aesthetic of my work, but also to the work process. This is why i begin with a photograph because I believe the camera acts like the human mind. Taking visual snapshots that document the past, that act as the remaining manifestations of a lost time. The manipulation, I then perform, relates to the distortion of memory, the warping of mental imagery that occurs through the deterioration of time or possibly even through self-deception "

I am a developing artist trained in Howard gardens UWIC in printmaking specialised in woodcuts more recently art work has involved expressing through painting although wood cuts is till very much a part of my creative expression. my woodcuts are strictly dynamic through black and white to achieve x-ray visions of scenarios or emotions. it is about stripping down to the bare core or bones of a moment.

Title: The Wolves are in the Kitchen
Artists: Emma Hatton and Steph Anderson
The Wolves Are In The Kitchen will be using an empty space to create the feeling of another world; an escape from reality. We have installed a photography studio in the shop to create an experience that people can get involved in as well as look at and watch. The project is mainly aimed at teenagers upwards as this is the age group that are most affected by the pressures of everyday life. In our interactive space we hope that people can forget about these pressures for a short while and just have fun. We want people to realise you don’t need to be a kid to have fun!
We are printing out the images every day so people can come in to look at them even if they do not want their picture taken. On the last day (26th Nov) we will be showcasing all the images for everyone to come back and look at. As well as this all the images we make in the shop will be uploaded to our wesbite.
