Storehouse, my submission and an honest chat
As artists, we often find ourselves submerged in a creative whirlpool, swept away by our imagination and positively buried within spur of the moment ideas. As a result, we produce art; small pockets of excellence which may or may not correlate to one another.
Being a part of Storehouse, the largest student-led magazine in the UK, I now understand further that the things I make creatively do not have to fit together in unison. Speaking as one of the two Curation Heads for Issue 25, I encourage young people to engage in every opportunity thrown at them, strive to build yourself into a well-rounded individual and make yourself known.
My submission for this issue of Artist Talk was created during my first year of study at Norwich University of the Arts. Like many other students, my first-year experience was tricky and there were times where I found myself quite overwhelmed. Adjusting to living with new people, working alongside your studies and taking on extra opportunities as an art student, distorts every feeling of familiarity that you once had back home.
However, within this chaotic year of study, I have grown into an individual acknowledges the importance of being proud of themselves and their achievements. Storehouse, without a doubt, contributed to this self-growth and I am more than thankful for that. Devising a theme for each magazine, allows students to openly explore different ideas and perspectives. This has given me a sense of clarity that I struggled to find for a short period in my life.

In Artist Talk, I touch on my ideas behind the piece above ’Remnants of Society’. In short, I am interested in using print-making techniques to understand my surroundings. I turn to art when feeling like things are moving too fast in life. For me, it’s about the process of slowing down time and exploring an idea or thought further. Issue 25 of Storehouse; ‘Distortion and Lucidity’, resonates with my practise more than ever.
Launching in September, you can find more of my print work in our student magazine and see the talent of many other creatives at my university. Below are some of the featured submissions from Issue 24 ‘Play; A Method of Discovery’, including my own article ‘Work Hard but Play Harder’.
