Poppy Maby explores emotions and how colours and textures can stimulate various emotional responses in people, through mixed media. intrigued by how something can look interesting and sweet to someone and sickly to someone else, Maby plays with the idea of visual contrasts, by displaying disturbing or strange imagery adjacent to more childlike and kitsch ideas. She portrays the chaos of life and a sense of messiness to the cycle of feelings, particularly focusing on contrasts between opposite emotions. Through 'Life is Bittersweet Chaos', Maby not only presents her own personal expressions and feelings, but opens up an intriguing dialogue to the viewer and asks them to consider their own responses to the imagery presented.
