Centenary Square Installation
TwinMotion, SketchUp and Vectorworks enabled me to create visuals of the installation could be expected to look if it were to be realised.
Photoshop to create images demonstrating the live aspect of the installation- the plants growing over time.
Nature and protecting green space has always been important to me and so I produced a conceptual installation, designed to sit in the library void space in Centenary Square, Birmingham. The installation celebrates the idea of Nature being given opportunity to reclaim spaces that lack greenery due to urban regeneration as seeds would be planted in the iron branches and overtime grow to fill the branches with wildflowers and plants.
Backpack prop made from brown paper for Andy’s Story. Scale 1:10
Andy's Story was a stop motion animation written and produced by myself during lockdown. The narrative was constructed following conversations I had with a homeless man- Andy- who kindly shared his stories with me in order for me to create something which would give people an insight into what it's truly like to be homeless in the uk. I made the set, props and characters from cardboard and the character of Andy from clear tape to symbolise his feelings of being unseen.
Close Up of clay mask made for the NFTS showing Perspex ‘ice’ teeth and horns.
Still from Skintaker, shot by students at The National Film and Television School. I designed and made the clay mask following research into historical Inuit and Alaskan masks and rituals.
In Nature’s Hand was a collaborative project created for The Lost Gardens of Heligan, one of Cornwall’s most popular tourist attractions. The above images show the installation onsite in the gardens. Hands are an existing motif within the stories and history of Heligan, furthermore we used wicker as a main material to create an organic structure which reflected its surroundings.
One of our main aims when designing and then making Nature’s Hand was to do so sustainably and environmentally ethically. All of our materials from start to finish of the build were either organic materials such as the hay used to create shape, or recycled/reclaimed pairs of tights and scaffolding.
Making large scale cactus lanterns for the Lantern Festival at Chester Zoo.
The lanterns were installed and then lit at Chester Zoo from November to January as part of the annual Lantern Festival.
Another feature in the Children’s area at the music festival was large books which had pages that young children could draw on. I constructed and then painted the book covers.
When volunteering at 2000Trees music festival, I helped build a ‘shifting character stack’ and then painted the dragon character pictured for the children’s area.

Mulitdisciplinary Artist
I am a multidisciplinary artist. Although my main interests lie in creating artwork for outdoor events, theatre and festivals, I have a vast practical skillset obtained through my various experiences so far. From working on music festival sites in the art and set up teams, to creating digital designs for exhibition spaces; I am an adaptable individual who is always looking to challenge myself and grow as a creative practitioner. My work often reflects my strong love of nature and being immersed in the natural world, and I am extremely excited for this next chapter of my life to begin as a devoted maker and artist.
