Work space

Art, Photography, Story

Work spaces whether it would be on the floor, desk, bed, wall, etc; it illustrates something productive taking place. When photographing my work spaces I noticed that that there was a huge reflection on my thought process and personal space. Photo quality and style may vary per picture, as these were taken throughout a few years and on various different cameras at random moments. Also a lack of consistency flows through the photos as each one tells a different story.

Side desk that was once located to my left hand side. Whilst I crafted something on the desk in front of me, objects and materials would be dumped on this side of my working space to make room for more mess. (2012)

‘The decaying landscape…’

Art, Photography

This piece was inspired and conceived by the theme of death and decay. Some of the shapes created mimic features that include a rib cage, wings/feathers, decomposing flesh and many more. After making this sculpture, I used the best photograph of it to create a variety of visual outcomes.

The composition was eventually used to influence my third year design work at architecture school, as a landscape concept for my proposal.

Cardboard Platform

Architecture, Art, Drawing, Photography

DSCF2419

One of our modules during my course involved making a platform, like the ones used for safeguards. The design was based on an origami shape I designed from experimenting with one particular origami fold. This particular structure for the base was strong and efficient. I decided to use corrugated cardboard as it’s an easy material to handle and to some extent reusable. Corrugated cardboard has also been used to make furniture and buildings before, so using it to make a platform can be effective. Although it might never be used for the beach due to the fact that it’s not waterproof, it’s still useful as a temporary structure for other locations as a look out or even looking at the view with less construction work and cheaper materials. There are many possibilities for this.
