Hi, I'm Grae Hastings; an aspiring artist... I create because I have no choice. I create to find out the truth about myself… and then to lie. I need my creative process; it holds my sanity and saturates... everything. I actively seek out traditional and modern art techniques and subvert the intended process – the ensuing chaos always gives way to exquisite mistakes. I am constantly experimenting through odd pairings of archaic and obsolete crafts, whilst also manufacturing techniques of my own. I blur the line between art and aesthetic decoration, making my pieces glitter mockingly; always they perch precariously between opulent delight and gaudy flamboyance.
