And it only took 5 days.

Freerange, July 2006 (going back a bit!)

Freerange, 2006

What a fantastic experience exhibiting in this huge car park on Brick Lane. With live bands and bar in the evening. I'm proud to have studied at Brighton and pull this off.

Loads of people came through all really interested in our work and the atmosphere was positive the whole time.

I designed new t-shirts and poster (above) for the safe sex Chav campaign! Along with some very fetching photos of them being modelled!

Vietnamese landscapes

Phi Phi

After visiting Phi Phi (Thailand) I was over whelmed by the spirit of the people rebuilding after the tsunami.
This guest house was advertising a room for hire with the saying 'Half a roof, whole heart'.

Fish Hed

Giant wasp

This is about bugs getting their own back. They’re constantly getting squashed, trapped or their wings and legs pulled off. I started by making an 8ft wasp cut out and 3ft glass, giving wasps the power to get their own back and trap people. The idea is to make several of these and put them in situe, inside and out, creating an interactive game with passers-by.

Postcard Designs

The 'Seven Days to Live' project was something I had real fun with. Having always wanted to travel I decided to create a series of seven postcards to be delivered from all over the world (Egypt, China the Pacific) . I also came to the conclusion that if I was to only live for another week that I would be indistructable, and therefore able to do anything, such as cross the Pacific on stilts.

'A Sure Fire Sign'

"My tradition simply gives people an alternative way of seeing things. A way they perhaps hadn't considered before."

Macmillan childrens book competition

Developing my ideas about the effects of war on children I made a counting book. This tackles the sad but true fact that war and terrorism are part of our everyday lives and have been for several generations.

My Little Soldier

I’ve created a series of work exploring how war and terrorism is infiltrating itself into the youth of today. It’s a sad but inevitable effect of the changing world and these images show how war is a part of life. I’ve tried to capture the glorification of war in the images, and the series is called ‘My Little Solider’.
