Almudena Rocca

I am a multi-disciplinary artist. In the last few years, I have been developing my skills using a variety of materials including metal, glass, clay, wood, digital photography, pen and pencil. Often my designs will start with a continuous line drawing and then develop into a piece of 3D work. Inspiration comes from a very personal interest in mental ill-health, politics, feminism, social issues and the role of women in art in today’s society. Having worked in a number of socially engaging art projects where the practice is based on the principles of collective working, diversity and inclusion I have come to realise that this is the environment in which I wish to develop my work. An environment where sharing and collaboration of an art practice contribute to mental ill-health recovery and emotional good health and well-being. I have recently moved my practice into tattoos. Since October 2019 I has been a hand poke tattoo apprentice at Evergreens Tattoo in Newcastle.
