ABOUT ME

Abilene1975

As long as I can remember I have enjoyed creating. My first photo was taken on a polaroid instant camera when I was about the age of 5 (and I do specifically remember being told not to touch the camera) but the clunky button was just far too tempting and I don't need to say that awe and curiosity just took over. I remember pressing it and being blinded by the flash. A few seconds later, my picture started to appear like magic. Aged 13, I discovered Andy Warhol and Art. Warhol was the first artist whose work shook my foundations and opened my eyes to art. I simply fell in love with his work and the processes he used. Photography and printing became my obsession. Over the years I have found inspiration in many other artists' work such as Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, Yayoi Kusama, Gee Vaucher, Ron Muek, Jenny Saville and Gavin Turk. I am inspired by our environment, the society we live in, and the relationships we create as human beings throughout life.
