ART FOUNDATION: OCCUPATION

These are some of the original images from a hardback book that I bound, using the silkscreen process to transfer the images onto the pages which were presented in a concertina. It is about a baker that doesn't like his job, inspired by a baker I knew of at the time:

ART FOUNDATION: NARRATIVE

This piece is illustrating a section of 'The Waste Land' by T. S. Eliot using typography, I firstly did 3 watercolour illustrations and from there designed a typeface and took what I thought to be the main aspect of the narrative - a dingy canal. I used words to describe the canal placing them into the shape of a canal, printed it onto acetate and photographed it:


ART FOUNDATION: RECORDING

These plasticine figures were inspired by overheard conversations in a cafe:





These ideas where then taken into a flatpack card cafe, when folded away it can fit into a calico pocket:
