Wallpaper for Set

First experimentation into wallpaper for walls of my set. Going to hopefully risograph it. Its an abstract image based on 50's design and mermaids tails

Mixed Special Press Pack


These are some designs I've made for the Mixed Special Press Pack. They won't necessarily be used as there can only be ten chosen designs from everyone in our group submitting. I wanted to make something that was a cheeky play on the title of the show mixed special. So my image is about the idea of mixed gender and accepted modes of beauty. The cross pollination of the two figures around the outer edges of the image becoming the unconventional looking central figure.

Continuation of the Personal Project



In the last few weeks I've been creating the sets for the animation I want to create. The film is set on a ship and my task was to build a ship set. the structure is about a metre high. I've been investigating different methods of lighting it and post easter it will be all go.

House of Fairytales collaboration

For the past few months I've been working with the artist Astrid Sonne for the arts charity House of Fairytales. The house of Fairytales have just opened a six month long exhibition in Hall Place in Bexley. I worked on the creation of an interactive puppet room. We wanted to create a set of fantastical characters from the actual historical fabric of the house.One of the most fascinating facts of the house was its use as a base for the american branch decoding the enigma messages in World War 2. Therefore we came up with an excitable crayfish (as the house borders the river cray), a glamourous WW2 service woman decoding enigmas and a talking enigma machine.






We also had to decorate and paint the actual puppet theatre created by Mark Bayley. This meant cutting and painting more than a hundred of fabric bricks. The exhibition is on until October.
