About my Window
Lost in Translation is displayed at Costa Coffee – map number 1
2D hand drawn artwork using Posca bright colour pens on the windows. Hand drawn local dialects from Stoke on Trent, Birmingham and Yorkshire areas. Combining three local dialects on windows along with 2D drawings. Such as Council Pop, It Like Blackpool illuminations, Ow At Youth.
Some of the lettering is twisted ‘N’, ‘J’ and ‘Z’. It’s like Eminem. He always uses ‘e’ and ‘n’ on the wrong side on his albums. It also links to the Lost in Translation theme.
If you are unsure what the dialects mean then you can search online. These dialects come from Birmingham, Black County, Stoke on Trent and Yorkshire. The importance of knowing some wordings and sometimes rarely spoken dialects. They could fade away forever. The older generation may know what it means and the younger generation would like to know an oral/spoken history of dialect.
About Me
I am an Award Winning Multi Talented Contemporary Artist and I am based in Birmingham. I enjoy all forms of visual art allowing creativity and innovation. Most work is hand drawn multicoloured art using Poscapens. Constantly experimenting, finding new ideas/concepts, producing work combining the effect of colours, patterns, raising people’s imaginations and awareness with some of my work influenced from personal life experiences of being Deaf and from travels internationally. I have also produced photography/videos via Instagram.
