The Masters in Creative Practice has given me the opportunity to develop my current practice which is informed by my background in the visual arts primarily encompassing photography film/video while drawing on my experience with painting, printmaking, animation, design and colour studies. The current work is a combination of abstraction and realism with the journey inspiring the practice. The notion of ‘transience’ becomes a type of microcosm in informing the output, which is an abstraction or a different way of looking at existing reality. For me one of the really exciting aspects of this MA program is the student mix (all from diverse backgrounds) create a unique synthesis which ultimately benefits all of our creative expression.
