Christmas Window displays I designed for Terra Plana for their 5 UK stores

I had to submit a piece from the word 'Ice' so chose to focus on the colour blue and how ice makes you feel (cool and relaxed).

Response to summer project in which I had to create a new tax to impose on the British public in 2011. I chose to add an extra tax on water usage.

@tomsimmons PS. sorry for the poor quality, my drive needed to be reformatted so these are just quick snaps from my portfolio.

These two images are from my A4 project in which we had to create a response in any media to an A4 sheet of paper. I chose to make a video of 'the possibilities of paper' and used the paper as a skateboard, aeroplane, painting tool, water bomb, football and much more. It turned out very comic and got good reviews at an exhibition.

This and the past few posts are based on my FMP for Foundation. My target was to produce a final piece highlighting the other factors affecting global warming other then humans and I wanted to take a humorous route. Livestock produce 18% of all greenhouse gases and this led to this this balloon pumping cows behind.

Here's a life size cutout i made of myself using sellotape and clinfilm. The head was made from a paper mache coated balloon, mask and magazine cuttings. I wanted have an impact on people's day by placing my piece in public areas in often shocking and disturbing positions, here shows the piece in a dustbin down a nearby main road.

The project was to make a response to light...

Again following on from the last project I wheat pasted over a discarded advertising board and put it out once more in the public area just as the two towns meet so passers by could take notice.

My local area is experiencing de-urbanisation, shops and businesses are moving away to the more attractive neighbouring area due to the opening of a new shopping center, I found this sign (scale better highlighted in previous post) and I stencilled the phrase over the top to represent the negative impact its having on other areas.

Development work for Foundation, working towards a poster for teaching Languages.
