Past Shows and works

Ham Sandwich- Final Degree Show- June 2010

This Installation took the form of a bedsit, completely decorated and with carpet and bed, the darkened room flicked between several projections and films on screen placed throughout the room. A single narrative was played out in a sporadic and unmatched manner telling the story from several different perspectives, it would seem.

The story itself was bound with 5 books placed within the room. On the bed a half finished ham sandwich and an abandoned typewriter sit awaiting their owner.

MishMash-Sheffield

A one night only event of music, readings and a small exhibition of my photo-documentation works.

The Book Series- Hand made, Hand printed contemporary books

Document and Journalistic Photography- On going

Freelance work for Film Production company Kestrel Film documenting behind the scenes and filming of band videos, and short films.

Band Artist for The Violet May, album cover art and press shots as well as documentation work.

Freelance photography for models and actors and personal studio work

Photography- A collection of photographs I have taken, ranging from landscapes and abstracts to portraits.

Compress series MISHMASH Slovakia 2009- Paper Mache sheets were made and set with text from Ovid as well as original photographs from the artist. These were then wrapped around bags of flour and piled to form and miniature brick holding.

To the unyielding doorpost MISHMASH Slovakia 2009- Slovakia

A text based installation using chalk from the ruins of a castle. A reworked text by Ovid was written on the floor of the gateway to the castle of Prodrahdie in Slovakia. The text is intended to be trodden on and eventually fade back into the castle it crumbled from.

Project Biennale- Collective 2008-9 Sheffield, Wimbledon and Venice Biennale 2009

A collaborative work from students at SHU, Chelsea school of art and Wimbledon. A commentary was set up to discuss the function and institutionalisation of the Biennale itself. Based in book form the project allowed the collaborators to both produce individual works: ranging from essay's to sculptural works, to curating a Biennale and inviting other artists to be involved. Project Biennale is still circling in other shows around the world.

Continuous 'Writing' collection 2006-ongoing- These are my writings which I find difficult to title, each are disposable, yet have great impact on my body of work. Ranging from poems, one sentence poems, one word poems, to Short stories.

Paparatzisnappy 2008- ongoing- A collection of socially engaging photographs, taken in a footloose and socialite manner. These photographs engage the audience in a conversation of lost memories and desperately recreated stories of another persons life.

Status poems2008-2009- Using the status' collected from the internet, I comprised poems about the people, using there own words I created new expressions and status sentences for each of them; using there words for my voice.

Status' 2008-2009- A collection of Facebook status' collected from peers on the Fine Art course. The catalogue was then archived over one year, following the internet moods of people.

Clothes Drop 2008-2009- Documentation of a series of performances in which the artist removes her clothing whilst walking through various public and private places. Film documentation and photographic stills are used to capture these intimate yet extrovert moments

Panty exchange 2007- internet blog

An exchange blog created to tempt people into exchanging used underwear for other peoples goods. An investigation into a commodities worth from the people who are giving them up. A reversal of need and jealousy, the person giving does not want to give and the person receiving may or may not want to receive there 'gift'.

light bulb 2007- Psalter lane Sheffield

An interactive light installation comprising of sequences of lightbulbs flickering on and off. The audience is invited to pull the light cords to attempt to change the sequence.

Box 2007- City wide Sheffield

Public Art interactive sculpture. A group project, where a Light box sculpture was placed in several Sheffield city locations. The internal photographs, which were lighted using day-light, illuminated opposing scenes to the exterior within the blacked out interior of the box.

Do you still love me now? 2006 - Psalter Lane Sheffield

An installation of plastic formed clothing dropped along a trail ending in a one-line, naked faceless woman drawn on a dirty glass window with permanent marker. Next to the image are the words: “Do you still love me now?”

Cityscapism- 2006

A mixed media series of photographs drawn on to alter the appearance of alien and well known places and locations. These images allow for the imagination to explore the city with a child like fascination and imagination. These vivid images shun the grey monotony of the daily slug allowing the viewer to escape into the realm of play.

Show Suspended- 2006- Psalter Lane Sheffield

This was a performance piece using ‘anti-art’ as the focus and inspiration. A concert was staged on a stair well using crude one line drawings, which were suspended from string on the stair-well windows using the stairs as a naturally inclined stage.

Writing Room -2006- Psalter Lane Sheffield

A reading room was constructed within the university showing text based works. A short book, scrolls and collages were contributed to the group show.
