Projects
- PHOTOGRAMSDrawing on the contradictory materiality of images, I wanted to treat the texture of the image as a portal into its contents which puts pressure on its own physicality. The photograms are both an illusion and a real record of the image’s process, an escape hatch and a kind of forensic rubbing.
- Trap DoorDegree show piece for Goldsmiths Fine Art BA 2020 which received First Class Honours. This project uses sculpture and digital imaging as a way to reinhabit a place and state of mind, disorientating atmosphere with physical absence and remains. The sculptures were made using found waste materials like packaging and tree bark local to an agricultural barn site. The Blender animation uses photographs of these sculptures as a way to resee and contradict them, undoing their physicality. Using ph

Final piece incorporated sculpture, film and installation concerning:
-Seeing and image reading in relation to space and dimension
-Inversion/negation/resistance manifest foremost through material (casting, translucency, digital glitching)
The sculptural elements were made through casting marbled plaster and concrete lined with paper. The first used a wooden cast to make a 'positive' cylindrical structure, the second used the same wooden cast but to make a 'negative' cast of wooden shell itself. These sculptures were then combined with projected film that played with optical distortion and illusion.
