Machi
Machi is the Greek word for battle, this is my first solo exhibition of screen-prints on leather, exploring the lines between mythology and family history. Following my grandfathers battle with ill health I drew inspiration from the memory of us watching Jason and the Argonauts together. Jason’s daunting journey, fearless nature and the brave battles of the Argonauts reminded me of my grandfathers courageous battle for health, his tenacious spirit and the beauty of his life. Inspired by his strength I portray the multi faceted layers of life, death and grief executed through a vibrant use of colour and imagery on tactile surfaces.
