“Entering a meditative trance in the pursuit of creativity”
Flow State
At the beginning of 2024, I received an arts council grant to develop my creative practice (DYCP).
I have used this funding opportunity to learn new skills, travel to interesting artistic places Like the Venice Biennale and YSP, nurture inspiration and to collaborate across creative disciplines.
Working with dancers, musicians, producers and film makers - I was able to construct moments of inspiration to capture as ‘subjects’ for paintings.
The freedom of prioritising my own concepts has helped to make my expressions feel more authentic and focussed.
FlowState: Inspiration day
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business.
Please watch - After 4 months of learning and exploring, I went off with a focussed vision to create an installation event.
This short video captures everything that happened on this journey and it invites you to join in and follow the progress and process of FLOW STATE..
The concept has just been realised and will soon be an exhibition of sorts. Something in between a workshop, a festival and an ashram...👨🏽🎨

DYCP funding allowed me to explore in far greater depth than I imagined..
