- VinesThis new work is an amalgamation of the two formats (vinyl heat press printing and photography with fabric) that I've been exploring in my practice over the last year (2019). After my last project 'Scroll', which featured printed images on a 12m. piece of material, I became fascinated not only by the effect of print on fabric, but also the sculptural and tactile elements it brought to the work. I started to experiment with different methods of printing onto fabric and developing a vinyl tran

Education
Photographic Fine Arts BAUniversity of Westminster
- London, United Kingdom
I graduated from the University of Westminster Photographic Arts course with a 1st class Honours. This developed my skills in understanding photography as a medium, and within the industry itself. I have formed a confident way of exploring photography and the arts both through dialogue and writing, finding enjoyment from talking about conceptual ideas. My final exhibition at University focused on the socio-political landscape of a holiday resort on the Red Sea.
