While I don’t usually draw from visual sources whilst creating artworks, there is a fair amount of inspiration taken from the proposed notions of acclaimed artists who have come before. In the instance of most of my works – which tend to have a surrealist/otherworldly focus with underlying emotional symbolism – I tend to take inspiration from the likes of Hieronymus Bosch and Francis Bacon, who’s works tamper with the ideas of otherworldly concepts (In the case of Bosch) and...

Writhing with painful figures, Francis Bacon’s horror-fretted canvases are often grotesque and distorted in form. His subjects vary from religious figures to lovers and embody the anxiety of a post-war Britain. This essay will explore the concept of pain within Bacon’s paintings, both physical and emotional. The discomfort in Bacon’s paintings later goes on to inform the work of artists like David Lynch. The anguish and inner turmoil these artists represent can be seen looking back to the work of...

Joseph Lister (1827-1912) came to know that Pasteur demonstrated the presence of microorganisms in air. He reasoned that he could prevent or reduce sepsis of surgical wounds by preventing the access of microorganisms from air to the wounds. He, therefore, resorted to careful sterilization of surgical instruments, dressings etc., and carried out the operation of the patient under a spray of...

Introduction In the context of theories on child language development, the behaviourist theory of operant conditioning proposed by B.F. Skinner in Verbal Behaviour (1957), is one of the earliest, and arguably considered the most outmoded by many in the field. The basic principle of operant conditioning is that behaviour which is rewarded or reinforced will be strengthened (Jayasundara, 2018, p.247). Conversely, behaviour that is not reinforced will fade out in a manner akin to natural selection. In Skinner’s view, parents...

Within the 1940s disabled individuals were identified as ‘abnormal’. Medical sociologist Talcott Parsons identified individuals whom did not fit in with the ‘norm’ of society as ‘sick’ or ‘disabled’, and therefore viewed them as ‘deviant[s]’, and as a threat to the maintenance of a ‘healthy’ society” (Mallet & Cole, 2014). This established the medical model of disability. The medical model establishes disablement as a physiological “flaw of the individual” (Singer, 2017). This medical label prevents the individual from being accepted...
