past portfolio work

At college i studied textiles, photography and english language; i then stayed at Alton College and have just completed the art foundation course there.
Here is the body of work that i built up in the year, and some past work from textiles and photography.

This was a series of narrative pieces on the book the borrowers.

This project was on inventions, and we had to create a t-shirt and package it.
I chose to use the telephone, focussing on the idea of voicemail.
I packaged it in a handmade cardboard envelope and attached a sound clip
to it so that when opened it played 'Mr Postman' by the Carpenters.

This work was for the topic of deconstruction.
I chose a typewriter, it proved very hard to take apart,
so i tried to explore and deconstruct the different connotations
of a typewriter.
Here i created a poster for the science museum, advertising a transport exhibition.
My project was to show a mode of transport through visual stripes.
I chose cable cars and represented the stripes through mark-making and the lines of the cables.
The concept created was of how they hang above our heads and how the idea of using them as a mode of transport, and also the effect pollution and congestion is having on our environment is going over our heads.


These images were for a topic on air.




This was one of my first projects on the art foundation.
We had to choose an object and draw it in lots of different ways throughout the week.
I chose cassette tapes, this was my final image of the week.







From autumn to January we had two hours of life drawing a week.
I've never done anything like this before and i found it really useful and fun.




This is the dress i made in textiles during A-levels, it was based on one of Viktor and Rolf's
collections, as the letters are  3D and come out of the dress.
I based this project on seagulls and the dress resembles this by the text reading 'SQUAWK',
and there are small seagull illustrations on the sides of the letters.




These were the images i created for my A-level photography exam.
The title of it was 'discord' and i chose to merge hands and feet into shoes.
