Artist statement

My piece shows a childhood desire, long dismissed, brought to life by its older, fundamentally changed creator in the name of art, and, to a degree, performance art. The performance is not a public one and exists in the sole action of committing to something, anything that you no longer feel the same passion for… A question that’s particularly intriguing is to consider what you would be committing to if you were to act on this in a decades time; what dreams have you long left behind that would disappoint your childhood self? Why have you never seen that animal that fascinates you so much as a child?
