A-LEVEL work.
During my Sculpture A-Level, one of my projects was “Structural Forms”, I decided to look at spirals that occur in nature. I started by drawing different shells and sea creatures. My final outcome was a series of clay spirals sequentially unfurling. Most of my sculpture projects had some element of movement in them. One of the pieces I made for my final Sculpture project at A-Level. The project’s theme was drowning, and I explored this through different series of hands. This series was on a miniature scale, measuring roughly two inches in height. A 30 minute lighting study from this sculpture project.For my final piece, I wanted to create a series of clear resin hands. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I was unable to complete this, so I instead created this piece of concept art.

Illustration and printmaking Foundation work
For this project, I was asked to create a 10x 148cm concertina book with nine panels. The book had to depict a story, fictional or not, that flowed from panel to panel. The final piece is a two-layer screen printed depiction of a dating story from when I was 14. Pages from my foundation project “Hear Make Heard” in which I was briefed to produce three editions of an A5 publication, I chose to create a 20 page comic-book for mine based on the term ‘Sonder’- the realisation that strangers around you have lives as complex and vivid as your own. Early planning and mood-board from another foundation project. We had to create a 30 second- 3 minute long animation about a popular legend or myth, I chose the Greek legend of Medusa. Clips from this project are included below in my showreel.
Nightmares
My final project for my foundation course was titled “Nightmares”. Above is a movie poster I created as ‘promotional material’ for my final piece which was a minute long animation.
