Escapism

 
Looking at fantasy as an escape, focusing on creatures in Greek mythology and the escape of evil from pandora's box. Using mythological creatures which carry connotations of evil I tried to create a physical manifestation of the way we witness evil.

The Empty Book Project



Using an empty book as a subject and material, I looked at shells as an alternative protective cover to a book and how a book could become a the cover itself.

Colour



I was assigned a colour (something like a metallic mauve) similar to the haziness of rainforest mist, and tried to recreate that with ice, using glasses to create the same limits to vision that mist might.

The Play Project


A response to the play 'Cleansed' by Sarah Kane, using images of barbed wire to represent the themes of control and restriction, the essence of the play, which translated to rings which separate the fingers, restricting movement.
