CHRISTMAS TREE

HILTON CANDLE STICK HOLDER

The shape of this candle stick holder was inspired by the unusual shape of the Hilton Hotel in Manchester.

TEA LIGHT LAMPS

For this piece of work we had to take a design we had previously created, and present it on a large scale. It forced me to think creatively how I wanted to present my design and I am very pleased with the outcome...I used 99 tea lights to create the piece. I love the way that the flames make the lamps glow, and the reflections they make on the shiney kitchen floor reminds me of being in a church at night.



TRANSFORMATION

making the ordinary, extraordinary...

My interest for recycled art fitted in perfect with this project...I thought that I would make recylced jewellery. I like the idea of creating something beautiful and valuble out of something you would otherwise throw away...

This necklace is made up of over 50 flattened beer bottle tops.



CARDBOARD CATWALK



'THE ODD COUPLE'

The costumes were inspired by pre 1960's artist Diego Rivera and post 1960's artist Jean Michel Basquiat...

FINAL OUTFITS
Made completely from cardboard for MMU's anual Cardboard Catwalk.



COMPUTER PROJECT

This is the first project I was given when i started the foundation course..The project was to create a computer that reflected qualities of you...I chose to make my computer out of wire and can because I love the idea of recyling matterials to create art, and work by artists such as El Anatsui who often uses recycling in his pieces...I feel that with our ever growing 'green world' recycled art is going to become more and more popular...and necessary.

 

Next I was asked to take my computer and photograph it in situations inspired by certain films, it forced me to look at my work in a completely different way and enabled me photograph my computer in a interesting and humorous manner.

The films I chose were 'Snow White' and 'Singing in the Rain'.
