Artist statement

I am Dominic James Borrows-Jones and am currently living in Nottingham. i am studying fine art degree at central college Clifton. I believe I don’t have a favoured media which I like to stick with, I enjoy experimenting and trying out new media with each project. Previous to this course I did a lot of illustration and I believe this is my most favoured area of art. I've tried to step outside my comfort zone and try out new media which has been successful but I want to get back into drawing as I find it most therapeutic.

My work often revolves around my family and myself as I enjoy letting people have an insight into my life. A previous project of mine was about separation between families and how I believe everything happens for a reason. My style is often very intricate as I like my work to be rather clean and precise. I like my work to be quite colourful and bold as I enjoy how colour can create certain feelings. I've noticed that previous projects of mine have a sense of fantasy as I did work which was about toadstools, fairies and aliens. Just recently I have been enjoying expressing my feelings towards identity and body image, as I think everyone has there own perks and individuality.

I had the opportunity to exhibit my work at Beeston library, I got a positive response from the public who stated mine was one of there most favored pieces in the exhibition. I found this very humbling and helped me feel more comfortable when people viewed my work.

To develop my work I wish to continue experimenting with new media to get more of an understanding of what I enjoy and find most intriguing. However I also want to start drawing again so I can determine what area of drawing I enjoy the most and think I can excel most In.
