Freya Eve Monks
BA (Hons) Fine Art
I am a visual artist primarily concerned with drawing, textiles and sculptural processes. I am a confident, expressive individual that is now graduating with a degree in Fine Art. I would describe myself as very hard-working and motivated.
In terms of my art practice, materiality and process have always been at the forefront. I use my technical knowledge of constructed textiles to create my playfully assembled soft sculptures. I believe it is important to recognise traditional craft but not shy away from innovation.
My work may start as drawings but there is definitely an element of chance during the making process. I enjoy trying things out and being open-minded when that doesn’t go to plan because the unknown excites me. There is a softness and familiarity within my work, which I hope evokes a sense of wonderment within the viewer.
