Julia Weekend.
From 20/3 - 22/3 this year, our entire graphics group was whisked away to an unknown location for a weekend of intense graphic exercises. We got on a coach and drove for 6 hours and ended up in the middle of the countryside in Somerset, with the typographic group : JULIA.
We were expected to complete projects and conduct research without the internet and any forms of media, other than each others' minds. At the end of the weekend, JULIA published our work in a book called : Weekend.
This was our graphic response to illustrate the idea of a shop in New York, where everything was free. The only rule was that you only took what you
really needed.
In collaboration with Sean Chilvers and Ben Hooper.
Kingston University and JULIA.
Long time no update. Rooted.
The Rooted exhibition was a success, with over 60 students displaying work. I entered a triptych of images of used sanitary towels, shot in an abstract and natural light. I wanted to challenge people's perceptions of menstruation and to get people discussing their own experiences, so it would become less of a taboo. This is the end result of all the experimental photography earlier in
the year.
This is definitely a subject of interest for me, and I shall continue to experiment with this project. If anyone is willing to share any images or experiences, please contact me.

Rooted Exhibition.

This is an exhibition that will be displaying some of my photography. The exhibition runs from the 16th-18th April at the Rag Factory Gallery on Brick Lane. Artists are invited to hang their work on the 16th in any way that they wish in order to display their work in the best way.
So come down and check it out!
Perception.
This is the beginning of a photography project documenting the emotions and perceptions that the model has about himself. The model appears to be an outwardly confident character who is extremely popular, but his self-perception is the complete opposite of what everyone else sees. I intend to photograph him in a social context to capture both sides. He has also started writing a diary of thoughts on the photographs I have taken, and how he feels about how I have portrayed him.



All the photographs I took were un-posed, the model didn't know when I was going to take the photos as I was waiting to capture his real thoughts on himself as we were discussing it.
