LATEST PROJECTS
Project | 01 Casa Murilo- Drive Unofficial Music Video
From October to December of 2014, I worked on a collaborative Uni project involving nine other students to design, create, shoot and edit a music video. I specifically played a major role in the production design and constructing, painting and decorating the set as well as choreographing and directing the dance routine. I loved working in this collaborative manor, as our various talents and specialisms went together hand in hand to create an end result of which were all pleased with.
Project | 02 2000 Trees Festival
For a week in July 2015, I was a member of the art department at 2000 Trees music festival in Cheltenham. This job entailed sign painting and painting and constructing scenery to be used around the festival. This was a collaborative project in which I worked with other students as well as professionals.
Project | 03 World War 1 Trenches- Paper Installation
This was a project I took a part in during my first year of university. In order to commemorate 100 years since the battle of the Somme, our task was to create a life sized 'labyrinth' style installation for public viewing, entirely constructed out of brown paper and corrugated card. We had a budget of only £450 and under four weeks to design and realise it. The project was extremely successful and was featured in multiple news reviews as well as being transported to Shrewsbury Flower Show.

Project | 04 Promenade Performance for 'Confessions of an Ugly Step Sister'
Confessions of an Ugly Step Sister is a Gregory Maguire novel which takes the classic tale of Cinderella, however tells a differing, more adult story seen through the eyes of an ugly step sister. I designed a contextual promenade performance situated in Haarlem in the Netherlands as part of the Bloemencorso flower parade. I transformed the Oval Room in the Teylers museum for a classic ball scene which contrasted to a dismal, decaying set inside a windmill which I created a model box for.
