Jo Thomasina
BA (Hons) Fine Art
I could be considered to be an artist who is quite often taken with a spontaneous modernist approach to my making, using an amalgamation of mixed mediums and materials of variable media and colour, including where possible found and recycled objects. Creating in this way means there are no limitations to my active mind‚ ambitious imagination, with my own environmental surroundings creating life experiences.
I am driven in a non-grammatical way by the diversity of positive and negative social causes that are generally provoked by human emotions. Street and community art excite me, as I enjoy the possibilities of highlighting issues that stir up curiosity in the community and beyond, causing an abundance of interesting debate and a deeper level of conversation. I am doing this when creating work that is expressive, thought-provokingly cryptic or socially engaging, which can also be challenging, often political, but most of all, accessible.
