What I do
Commercial & Community Projects
I work with museums, heritage, archives, galleries and other organisations to create projects that involve moving image and sound, graphics, illustration and exhibition designs.
Clients include Colchester + Ipswich Museums, Wells Maltings Trust, Norwich University of the Arts, WI Life magazine and University College of London.
Some of my projects include working with the community to unlock hidden stories through interviews, call outs and workshops.
Artistic Projects
My artistic projects explore identity, social history and social behaviour. I like to create disjointed and nonlinear narratives that evoke a visceral response. My work aims to be playful and theatrical, combining surreal elements.
My current research concerns the expectations and behaviours of women looking at appearance and the desire for perfection. My new body of work includes Girls will be Girls , I Died for Beauty and a surreal film Plastic Roses.
I am also collaborating with History of Advertising Trust and Will Hurt on The Goddess of a 100 years project, which will be a film and interactive experience, planned to be exhibited at the D&AD Festival in 2020.
Gallery Artwork
My collections are based on historical characters including Agatha Christie, the Kings and Queens of England and British women over 800 years. The artwork is digitally created, by photographing models, architecture, flowers, fauna, objects and textures, to create playful and surreal costumes, props and scenes.
My artwork has been represented internationally by Cynthia Corbett Gallery and exhibited at Somerset House, Guildhall Art Gallery, Old Truman Brewery, Science Museum and Empire State Building.
In 2018 Striving for Perfection was shortlisted for the RSA Moving Pictures Award.
