- Anger ManagementAnger Management is a film and installation piece made by me for the collaborative exhibition Brian’s Brain with a collective of my mates from my university. The exhibition was based around a fictitious character “BRIAN” who is an amalgamation of all of our minds, to delve into the topic of another person’s mind I tried to look at Brian as a struggling artist who finds it hard to not only express himself through art but also find it difficult to accept himself as an artist.

Every moment spent being the student ambassador for the University was a learning experience on the professional and logistical side of a large educational organization, whilst being a spokesperson for their core values and ideologies.
