My Master’s degree in Creative Practice took me on an unexpectedly deep journey of self-discovery.

When I began the MA, I thought, somewhat naively, it would simply be a way to develop my art practice in new directions. I imagined academic enquiry and contextual research would inspire fresh explorations, new connections, and ultimately new creative outcomes. And while that certainly happened, it turned out to be only a small part of the story.

What I hadn’t anticipated was how personal the process would become. The deeper I went, the more I found myself drawn into the dusty, forgotten corners of my own mind. Through research and reflection, I revisited recurring childhood dreams and unearthed fragments of stories buried deep in my subconscious—threads quietly shaping both my creative voice and my understanding of my place in the world.

The result was Imaginarium—a body of work that formed the centrepiece of my final MA exhibition. Alongside the artwork, I wrote a story. Though deeply personal, it has resonated with many who’ve read it. The story and the art are mirrors of one another—each complete in itself, yet richer when experienced together.

Because, after all, getting lost is part of the creative journey. More about my qualifications and past exhibitions can be found here. Enjoy exploring.
