My Own Performance

Inspired by Fernando Brizio's felt tip pen dresses, showing the work of diffusion and colour, I decided to come up with the concept of 'Something I've created, creating something itself'. 

I have a youtube channel, where I'll upload more of my performance work so stay tuned!

Here are some photographs I took before and after filming...

Performance

Hans Christian Andersen has been an influential writer in my work. His magical and quite tragic fairytales were transformed into many ballets. The costumes and set designs seemed to influence and describe the craziness and madness of his tales and the emotions expressed through the performance/dance.

Beautiful performances and gorgeous stage settings/designs. 

Illustration work

It could take a lifetime to perfect your very own illustrations - or perhaps never consider them to be finished and perfected. With the help of inspirational characters and figures and with practise, I've created my very own naive style. Perhaps they aren't wonderfully  'beautiful'  and perfect to some people, but how can we define beautiful? 

Gary Card

My favourite blogger at the minute, such a genius! I could look through his blog all day, a portal of information and inspiration with his vivid use of colourful wonderfulness.

Check out his blog -  garycardiology.blogspot.com/

'Who are you'?

I was given the task to take 3 photographs with a time limit of 5 minutes explaining myself. Difficult? Extremely. However with the help of a roll of tin foil and UV body/face paint, I present to you 3 of my photographs inspired very much by colour. 

Brigitte Bardot

Known for her sassy and bold nature both musically and physically, the legend that is Bridgette Bardot never fails to amaze me. She is probably the most influential person, inspiring most if not all of my projects. I always wish to portray her wild and brazen nature through my work. 

The Master of Sculpture

I have admired Jeff Koons and his sculptures for as long as I can remember. I adore his used of bold colour and the concept of 'trompe l'oeil' - playing with the eye. Just can't get enough!
