My name is becky buckman and i am a multidisciplinary artist and designer.
I change my hair as often as I change my medium, working across animation, film, photography, interactive design and physical computing, although I have developed a particular interest in animations & film production.
Projects
- Anti- AffordanceAffordance is the name for the process which allows and enhances interaction. anti-affordance is the opposite, and removes or makes interaction extremely difficult. for this project, i designed a set of knives designed with anti-affordance in mind, each relative to pre-existing names for knives.
- DestroyThis project initially began with the brief to 'document the process of destruction'. Research eventually led me to look at vandalism of statues, and with the recent protests against the Cecil Rhodes statue in South African and Oxford, this project addresses colonial presence in London monuments in a subtler way.

- Blood BrothersA candid mockumentary examining menstruation. How can we tackle the stigma of menstruation? Those outside to an experience will often find it difficult to relate to it, so working from this idea, I asked the largest group of outsiders to periods (cis males) to speak about periods as if they have them.
Projects credited in
- Women: The Sacrifice of Cultural IdentityPersonal project of work sold, portraying women as the key figures when it comes to a community establishing an identity. The pieces below comment on the clash of ideals of presenting female beauty between the east and the west, and how both are derived from the male gaze.
