Projects
  • Chess Mate
    Chess MateThis project is a third year university installation. We were asking to create an installation in an historical place. The place chose was a Fort Based in Chatham, Kent. The fort has been built after the invation of the French in Kent. The installation need to be insitu. This installation is my recreation and development of a chess game. A game I played during her childhood with my father. Playing chess require mathematics, strategy and tactic. I related this old and famous game to the Fort as
  • Scenography
    ScenographyThis project is a university third year project. We had been asked to design two diffrent scenes of the book The Bloody Chamber. The model making is base on the Harrogate Theatre in London witch has an audience capacity of 1000 people. My main inspiration came from the movie «The compagny of wolf» that I watch at the begining. I liked the essence that came out of the film. The oneiric images in the movie inspired me. The poesy you can find in the in the forest set really atracts me and that was the main direction I wanted to take. The movie has two major themes : 1/ the passage from the childhood to the adult. (Angela Carter parable in a remarkabe way through the strories all that include that transition : sexuality, death, religion...) 2/ the esotericism really romantic, alway there, in Neil Jordan’s work. It is really hard to put the story in a spatiotemporal frame. I wanted to create a decor where the audience would use stereo 3D glasses.
  • Bookcase bench
    Bookcase bench6 local artists has been comitioned to design 6 pic nic benches along Herne Bay seafront. I had the chance to be selectioned to create my own: Herne Bay has a lot to say through its architecture, history and people. The bench I made was built on this idea of creating an installation where I tell all about the treasures I have discovered as I learn about this town. I thought about doing something with books. Books represent knowledge and culture. Nowadays, people are using books less; they use I-pads, laptops or other machines instead. In few years time books or paper may be obsolete. Although it is made of wood, the bench is the shape of multiple piles of books. It is my recreation of a library. Marcel Duchamp, who spent time in Herne Bay over 100 years ago, inspired me with his ready-made pieces of work. I want people to know how the town developed during the last few hundred years. I decided to illustrate stories and the history of Herne Bay on the ‘bookcase’ I have done. I would like the audience, who will sit on the bench, to be reminded of all the little details, made by real facts that happened in Herne Bay but also mixed in with some fantasy drawings that add poetry and humour. The bench is made of wood, paper, ink, and vanish. A resin is going to be put on the top at the end of the month to make it stronger.
