Being Human

is all about being human. The artworks look at the concept of being human mainly from the perspective of mood, which is an intrinsic part of every human being. My works are tied up with the Four Humours – melancholic, phlegmatic, choleric and sanguine, but they also investigate physical characteristics, the four elements and even different astrological interpretations.

The works form part of an exhibition being shown at the John Paynter Gallery, the Lock–Up Cultural Centre, Newcastle from 18th May until 3rd June, 2012. For more information click here
