Kristen Downie
Artist Statement
My inspiration primarily explores around sociological and environmental themes in the form of multimedia installations. I am heavily influenced by nature and human activity. Working with found objects and producing interactive tactile artworks where I intend to capture their response in multiples. I gave a strong interest in creating expressive and distinctive lines by wrapping, painting or making structures through creative ideas and techniques. As an artist I am constantly collecting knick-knacks from a variety of shops hoping to find inspiration and to fin some meaning into my artwork. My aim is to make the viewer more aware and to create an impact on everybody's everyday lifestyles as well as holding up a mirror to the current environmental issues that we live in.
