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.

‘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.
