Small sketches written in JavaScript, which translate the levels of white and black in images or videos, and map those values; to lines of different widths (left), and small images I assigned from lightest to darkest (right)

A paper spiral (left) inspired by the combination of man made drills, and natural cacti forms, and Risograph prints (right) of photos of the spiral after being fed through my JavaScript sketch

A series of prints inspired by the Sony Walkman and the packaging of that era. I designed it digitally (left), before screen printing each of the colour layers onto paper (top right). I then did prints of the box nets after being constructed then crushed, by inking the box up and running it through a printing press (bottom right)

A collograph print on the left inspired by old woodblock printing letters, and a hand drawn collage on the right using only the letter 'H'

A typeface I designed based on designing a visual representation for Morse code. Changing the dot and dash for a horizontal bar and curved line, and the curved line flips direction if following a 'dot' to show the order of arrangement

A typeface designed using the same four shapes repeated in different orientations to create a uniform alphabet. I then created an animation of the alphabet moving across the screen and added effects in Premier Pro, before feeding the videos through the previous JavaScript sketch to add the 'line' effect

Lino prints (top left) and an animation (right) of a crushed Coke can, with an initial exploration into removing detail from famous branding and whether the product is still recognisable. I also used the JavaScript sketch I wrote to edit photos of the can, using sections of my can to be assigned to the black, dark grey, grey, and white values

Double page spreads of research that have helped to influence and develop my work over the past few months. Karel Martens is currently one of the designers I am particularly influenced by, in particular, his book 'Patterns'

The left side shows drawings of a product (fish bottle opener), deconstructing the individual parts and the movement between them. The right side shows photos of the outcomes I produced which are pieces of tracing paper, layered up to show the movement

A series of the same photograph edited differently using simple colours and shapes (left), and a hand made paper weave (right)

Paper collages in black and white, and colour, based on previous collages using sheets of mark-making

Photographs of a strip of Correx that I folded into triangular shapes using a line bender, and placed on top of a light box to photograph. I chose Correx to work with as it allows some light to show through each panel and shows the depth of the design

An A1 sheet of hand cut squares, which show movement within a series

Photographs of the development and outcomes of a group project, with an initial brief to create a 3D newspaper structure coming out of the wall as far as possible

A project using a video of an action as a starting point, from which I printed each frame to analyse and break down the movement, ending in an animation of pure lines depicting the stripped back movement

These are photographs of the inside of a shoe box that I transformed, using paint and string, to reflect the feeling of 'calm'. The light comes through slits cut in the top and using a moving light source produced interesting results which I videoed.

A video of compiled footage from a camera on the underside of a plane, and the sounds of the plane at different points during flight

Scans of pages from a book I made using my own screen prints. The screen prints are originally from drawings I produced of different album covers scrunched up, scanned and then enlarged to A3. The pages in this book are A5 sections cut out from the screen prints produced, bound together with a hand-stitched chain stitch. I also made a small animation using a screen print of the drawn album cover (Aphex Twin) scrunched up, then overlayed with prints from a tape spool being dragged across the screen

I initially created this out of paper, then scanned it into After Effects to animate each element individually, then made variations on Premier Pro, before compiling the different variations into one video with audio

This is a calendar I created using my streaming data from 2024. Each day is represented by a black square with white squares in randomised positions, representative of the hours in a day I listened to music. I used JavaScript to randomise positions of a fixed number of white squares within the black square.
