I find these things so difficult because I'm pretty self deprecating when I talk about myself. I also find a snappy tagline that I write on social media is not how I would talk about myself... with my voice.
On social media I often describe myself as a "Kooky Creative, printer, painter, general maker, chronic doodler and village witch" and I think this is a phrase that works in online and written statements but not spoken word.
It became very apparent I don't know how to describe my practice when I was asked about it on the weekend so I'm going to try and get something succinct together.
30 seconds info I need:
who am I? Amber 'Ayy' Kaplan
what am I? Illustrator / Creative / Arteest
what defines my practice? experimental / versatile / interests focusing around feminism, LGBTQ+, pop culture, spooky stuff, naked ladies, prefereably all mashed together in some exciting imagery / a quite gothic aesthetic / texture / mixed media wizard
Currently working on? designs for makeup packaging based on Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber,
You know how people kind of look like their dogs? I feel like my work kind of looks like me. It's a bit weird, pretty colourful, can be a little offensive to the eye but generally pretty interesting to look at & Always trying new things.
