Phoenix's Artist
Statement

The Ghost of Garretstown

I am interested in magic, nature, fantasy and the extraordinary :) Well, the weird back-pack girl in the dark woods would be quite the sight to see on your late night stroll. My inspiration comes from dark songs and my favourite creepy stories. My projects have three stages: design, creation and performance. My favourite parts of the process are choosing which materials to use and planning where and when to take the photos. I love wearing my costumes and getting into character :)

What our judges had to say
about Phoenix's amazing work!

'Phoenix, what a brilliant and brave work of art. There is so much to your work; the costume, the performance, the photograph and the spooky atmosphere. I adore it! Super congratulations and I look forward to seeing much more of your brilliant art!'

Amanda Coogan, Visual Artist

'I've seen lots of cosplay in my many years of comic conventions and I love the spirit and wonder of this one combined with the photo. It feels like Ghibli come to life, where there could be wonder around every corner that you discover.'

Will Sliney, Comic Book Artist
