Week 9- Self Identity and the Creative Voice

Identify my own self-identity and my creative voice.

Self identity is defined as 'the recognition of one's potential and qualities as an individual, especially in relation to social context'. Finding your inner voice can be a challenge, especially in young people faced with many different career and life routes to choose from; even just knowing where you fit in your chosen industry can be a daunting task and a challenge to identify.

At this moment in time, I think it's difficult for me to choose an image that defines me and my work, purely because I don't know exactly what it is I want to do for the rest of my life. My psyche is constantly evolving, incorporating new ideals and philosophies as I continue to learn.

For this reason, it's been hard to put together a concise portfolio; how could I do that, when I have so many different methods and ways of working? I am interested in all aspects of art and design; from illustration and graphic design to textiles, sculpture and architecture. I find that the main constant in my work is my inclusion of allegories and concepts; apart from that, the actual aesthetics of my work remain fluid and ever changing.
