I'm a Latvian illustrator based in Ireland, I'm heavily inspired by dark fantasy and horror. My work tends to be quite chaotic with heavy lines and a variety of splatters that resemble the Dublin City streets.
For this project, I wanted to explore the topic of memory and foreign experiences. I moved to Ireland when I was ten years old, this gave me a unique upbringing and perspective. Twelve years later I still struggle with certain aspects of day-to-day life. I wanted to explore my feelings through the use of sculpture, painting and animation.
The three outcomes contain the elements of my most cherished, and dearest childhood memories from Latvia, that I reflected upon. Through this project I intended to discover the sense of national pride towards my home country through
my memories.
Outcome 2; 3D printed sculpture placed in a bell jar
Outcome 2; photo taken from the other side of the sculpture
Outcome 1; Hand painted skateboard decks
Outcome 1; A supporting zine for the skate decks
Outcome 2; A supporting zine for the sculpture
