Description of Degree Show:

My recent degree show consisted of two thematically linked installation peices. The first piece was a film installation space incorporating large-scale prints, text and video work.

The second space dealt with photography in a pseudo-real space mimicking a film set. The images and props within the space allowed the viewer to interact with the space and create their own narrative. To see a photograph of this space Click Here!

During my time at Edinburgh College of Art I spent three months on exchange in the Czech Republic. There I studied video art and performance at the FAVU (Art School), Brno. The time I spent there has had a significant influence on both my work and my general outlook. While I was there I was also able to travel widely in central Europe.

I have also worked on several student film productions in many different capacities, for example, research, continuity, producing, editor and camera work.

In addition to this I also conceived, shot, directed, edited and produced my own degrees show film.
