About me
I have recently graduated with a 2:1 in BSc Architecture (RIBA Part 1) from the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL.
I have gained extensive experience in a multitude of work based environments and as a result believe I am able to strive in a range of positions. I am an extremely motivated individual and enjoy fulfilling a range of roles including administrative tasks and dealing directly with others. I consider myself very reliable, hardworking, organised and creative.
I have a strong interest in gallery work and have spent the past year studying the implications of displaying works of art. I have focused specifically on the possibility of developing a novel approach to displaying lost artworks, such as Masaccio's ruined frescoes and Caravaggio's stolen tenebroso painting. I have worked closely with a PhD student whose work revolves around Italian Renaissance works of art. As well as this I have specified my dissertation on the political power of museology. I have channelled this line of study on the Parthenon Marbles which are currently displayed in both Britain and Greece, and questioned whether or not the artefacts currently located at The British Museum should be repatriated.
My design project aim has been to design a heterotopic museum that displays works of arts whose original physical manifestations have been lost. I practice an interest in the relationship between the creators of important artworks and the individuals that view them out of their original contexts.
Projects
- Displaying Fragments and AbsencesThe 1:20 models address means through which remaining historical artefacts that have been deemed worthy for display are presented to contemporary viewers, and the impact this has on addressing the absence of other artefacts. At moments the display systems present viewers with voids, as well as glimpses of themselves in integrated mirrors. The aim is to question the presentation of history as a linear entity and confront viewers simultaneously with the abstract reality of themselves and the abstr
- Body Armature: Engaging a Viewer with the SubjectDesigning a figurative body armature that acts as an extension of the self. This becomes a bridging device between the idea of the self and it’s external reality, in turn creating a connection between ‘the self’ of the subject and ‘the self’ of the viewer.
- The Museum of Lost Artefacts: Alluding to Caravaggio’s Lost Painting [The Material Cause]The canvas display system comprises of two key elements; the display of the canvas as an object, and the ghostly allusion of the image depicted in the original painting. The glass sheet on which the canvas is suspended allows it to be viewed from all angles and fully appreciated as an allusion to Caravaggio’s original painting surface. The silk and resin screen in front is near transparent, yet relays an impression of the forms and colours of the original painting.
- Simultaneous Ambidextrous Drawing ToolThe yoke and armature support a series of adjustable mirrors and drawing guides. The user is given the unique ability to observe and draw with both hands simultaneously. This allows the user to obtain a conscious and considered record of their subject as well and an subconscious and instinctive record. The tool addresses the relationship between a person and their chosen subject.
- An Exploration for the Embassy of CraftThe 1:10 model is designed as an interactive device. As the viewer handles and turns the model they are taken on a journey through the spaces it represents. The three key moments within the circulatory route are inhabited through the viewer’s imagination. The model guides the viewer from a space of intimacy to a space of openness.
