About Me

Leeds, United Kingdom
I am studying the MA Advertising and Design, and have completed the BA Art & Design, also at the University of Leeds. With my work shown below, I had been exploring the properties of light, and the colours and shapes and forms which can arise through manipulating it. I explored this through the use of many different painting techniques, and I am currently exploring surface texture, and alternative techniques to applying the paint to the surfaces, ie. I avoided using paint brushes and prefer to work directly from the paint tube, or roll or press the object onto and into the paint, getting as involved in the creaton of a piece as I can. My work therefore takes on creation and a design through physical process. I have made studies of fire flickering, candles moved around a camera on a low shutter speed, fireworks exploding and laser projections.

Lights, Camera, Action!

Hey everyone!

Well, this weekend I am busy busy busy filming for my 1 minute film project. Waterstones have been very kind and have let me film inside and outside of their shop, so a big thankyou to them!

The film is about a homeless man, who actually turns out not to be homeless, and is actually a regular guy, who uses all the money he receives during the day to go to the pub on a friday night!

This story was inspired by a homeless man whipping out a cigarette from behind his ear after I gave him some change and asking me for a lighter! That was what the peoples change was being spent on, not food, but cigarettes!

So, the evolution of the concept of a homeless man not being all that he seems arose, with the moral 'Don't judge a book by its cover' at the heart of it. The film is titled 'All That Glitters...(Is Not Gold)'- another phrase for the above, and I will upload it as soon as it is completed- hopefully by the end of next week, so please take a look.

Hope you will like it!
