2009 art coursework on parents living vicariously through their children. Polymer clay, chalk pastel, readymades.
The title of the piece in the images is PG: Playing God.
Artist Statement: Encased in a closely monitored environment, children lead a life padded with the safe assurances of parental choices. However, such care has the danger of morphing into an overbearing compulsiveness in ensuring a stable future for the child; what parents see as the profession of success could also be an embodiment of their own faded dreams, and hence they live vicariously through their children. Yet, the meticulous efforts in paving their youngsters' livelihood may not go as planned; the gulf of understanding between adult practicality and childish ignorance is indissoluble, and children, being immersed in innocence, fail to appreciate those preparations for the purposes they harbour.
The images on the boxes are in chalk pastel, and are based on modified flickr photographs.
This was my favourite part of the installation. Hanging the money from branches above. It worked really well even if they were an absolute pain to put up.
It all goes down,
down into the deep unknown.
"It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more."

For my AS photgraphy coursework i did movement in the body. This image is one of four. For my finals i decided to take images of dancers becuase they move in such elegance and style. to get the white movement i used a white cloth the used a very slow shutter speed for the movement.
This was a live brief in which we had to design a poster for a charity event. It was on the theme of 'back 2 skool' so it was for people who went to school in the 70's, 80's and 90's. In particular we had to pick up on the music side of it hence the 3 dancing figures as there would be dancing there. The type I used was all through the different eras which was a really enjoyable aspect for me as i got to research a variety of type. In hindsight I would've tried to incorporate more to do with school.
I took this photograph in my first week as an A Level Photography student. We were studying abstraction. I didn't particularly like any of the outcomes but did enjoy trying something new I guess. And some of them don't look particularly 'abstract' but I just think they're interesting.

This is a painting i did based on some drawings and sketches i did in my own time. The idea is that i would take solid mechanical forms and abstract them using pattern and line.

Picture 7
(2nd Year Photography Degree, Semester 2): Book Project
I decided to depict how I was feeling at that time in my life - the 2nd year of university wasn't the best year for me and I wanted this project to represent how it was starting to feel like the days wre going by like a blur - the people in the streets just strangers, day and night and time having no meaning. Things were there then they were gone.
Photograhed at day and night and through the summer to autumn/winter
Here i put paint onto a mirror and then put a tap ontop and made my camera have a very quick shutter speed to capture the deatil or the water, the tap looks like ice.
The camera started to fail here so it doesn't have as great clarity as my other photos.
I'm recording my GCSE music coursework.
