Student Biography

Growing up, I loved the idea that something poetic and beautiful had the ability to change how someone viewed the world.

I’m motivated by trying to push my work somewhere new. Somewhere else. I often arrive at solutions by accident. I prefer to let the materials I use influence the outcome.

Working across many disciplines my work is a marriage of fashion, theatre, illustration and sculpture and is governed by capturing accidents and embracing the conflict of collaboration.

I love the idea of fusing the worlds of music, theatre and design.

I am inspired by the lovely idea that we can extol the beauty of appearances so long as we recognise their impermanence and fragility. My work is imbued with this vision of ephemeral beauty.

I think that art/design play a major role in changing the way people think. Design is an extension system that governs social change & evolution.
