About Mel

Mel Winning MA with Distinction

Camberwell Art School UAL

I'm interested in the human condition and it's consequences. Why, where, and how! I'm  just a curious person.

I explain my work as being Magpie Collective. I have a dark side that seems to come out of nowhere and I find  that funny. I work from an idea as a starting point sometimes with an object sometimes with my make-up character and photographic skills. My normal is a political standpoint. I don't really know where I'm going just expanding my idea.

I got married in a pair of Salvador Dali designed telephone earrings, I had his poster on my wall aged 12. I suppose I could describe myself as a surrealist.

People ask me how do you know when to stop? there are endless options in my personal art world. I just trust my judgement, when I look at a piece and think I love that, I know it's finished.
