Seven black and white drawings, each exploring one of the seven deadly sins.

My body of work explores the seven deadly sins of Roman Catholic theology: envy, greed, lust, gluttony, pride, wrath and sloth. Individuals within the Catholic faith are considered sinful if they commit these immoral acts. Each sin has one panel, represented through key behaviours inspired by history and animals' characteristics. Envy: jealousy and malicious behaviour. Lust: uncontrolled cravings. Gluttony: the desire to over-consume. Pride: untethered arrogance. Wrath: unbridled anger, rage and hatred. Greed: irrational desire.

My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following artists: Albrecht Dürer, Pieter van der Heyden.
