My Urban Jungle...

I started out thinking about my surroundings, comparing my home to living here in Limerick!  I found that there was very little colour to be seen. I decided to create an urban jungle, introducing colour, patterns, animals and things never seen in the city before! To me, the urban culture is a jungle in which we all fight to survive. My first impression of city life was that I was now living in a concrete jungle with grey monotones and repetitive patterns. However on closer, inspection to my delight I realised that it is possible to find beauty in the most unlikely places. As I allowed myself to open up to the city experience I realised that city life has many textures, layers and tapestries richly woven with the soundtrack of the city playing 24/7.

I represented myself as the monkey let loose from the cage, free to explore the urban jungle from different angles.
