Caravan Structure


This was my final piece from my AS exam, with the chosen question of 'Cross Over'. I created the structure from wood and cardboard, then painting images both inside and outside using acrylics and watercolours with string over the top. It was mainly influenced by Lynn Skordal, Ged Quinn, Banksy, David Ralph and Maurizio Anzeri. These are photographs I took outside of the finished product. Taking approximately 10 hours, the dimensions are 39cm by 27cm by 22cm.

Japan Trip 'What Makes Someone Attractive'


Partaking in a science experiment, I led the project on 'What Makes Someone Attractive'. Combining my love of Art with Science. I looked into three different theories within this idea, taking my own photos and editing them all according to these theories. It was an amazing experience, as not only was I able to go to Japan but it taught me valuable skills of leadership, organisation and teamwork.

Cityscape Photography


From my AS photography exam, I edited these images together from photos I had taken in New York. I wanted them to have elements from my photographer influences, Stephanie Jung, Dan Mountford and Matt Wisniewski. This took around 9 hours to complete.

Paintings of Butterflies


These were all my own photographs I took at Kew Gardens, drawn and then painted using watercolours and brusho inks as well as pen and ink. To the left is an image from my sketch book, using Brusho paints to make it look like they were contained in a box, similar to that of collection boxes and Joseph Cornell's work. What I wanted to focus on with this piece are my painting skills in recreating the paintings as closely to the actual image. This took around 5 hours to complete with the dimensions of the image as a whole being A3.

Flying Girl Photography


This is an image from my A2 coursework for Photography. I took this in the style of Lissy Elle with my project being based around Fairy Tales. This took around 2 hours to complete on Photoshop. To the right is displayed the image I recreated in my own style.

Colourful Chinatown Piece


Taken from my own photography, I used gel pen ink, pen and ink, paint and pencil. Combining the two photos of the Cathedral and Chinatown together to contrast the two, not only in colour but in content as well.  What I really like about this piece is the vibrant tones I achieved from the gel pen ink, being an unusual media to work with, using it like paint. This took 9 hours to complete and the dimensions are A2.

Hanging, Framed Photography


Influenced mainly by Jerry Uelsmann and Robin Cracknell I made a frame like structure to hang various photographs from. Some being SLR images and other digital; this was my final piece for my GCSE photography exam. All of the images responded to the same theme of memories with different photographer influences. I used different techniques in the darkroom such as layering two images together as you can see in the bottom right hand corner. The dimensions of the overall structure were 1.2 x 1.7 x 0.5 metres .
