Abstract
Through the use of abstract figures and landscapes, I enjoy creating and exploring the uncanny within my art. The uncanny is defined as the psychological experience of something being odd or mysterious. (Royle) It is often used to describe things or situations as strange or unsettling. (Royle) In First Impressions I focus on the way that artists can create mood through the use of the uncanny. This is often conveyed through subject matter and the technical elements of the artwork. I am interested in the mood these figures in my work portray and if the figures are portrayed as simply odd or if they embody other moods.
