'Bored & Tired' are a part of a series of works I have made focusing on the idea of failure and how when mediated through photography and painting, these perceived ‘failures’ might be redeemed. This work featuring the words ‘bored’ and ‘tired’ spelt out in alphabet spaghetti, embraces a moment of parental failure and asks the viewer consider disappointments in their own lives and the aesthetic possibilities of embracing them.
