Fuck Fashion.

Lets Smoke Menthols.

Oh Alison how I love you.

Sitting in rivers in brand-new jeans!


So recently I've been making hollow balls out of cling film and sellotape and floating them down rivers. This has resulting in what are some of my favourite ever photos that I've taken! I deliberately tinted them to look slightly off-coloured and am considering taking more photos with a disposable or even a polaroid camera - just because I want that 'untouched' look. It seems very relevant to me - I'm interfering with nature by placing these artificial objects into the water but then I'm documenting the process in the most lowtech way possible. I like creating art thats made with disposable items, I think it's a much more modern and relevant way of working.  







I think that the top one is my favourite! I am definitely having a cheeky skive from college sometime in the near future in order to take more photos like these.

A bit of recent work.



I'm not really too fond of this. I liked the idea of the body with its deformed shoulder but the physicality of it wasn't quite what I was aimed for. However, this is one of my first forages into creating a 3D piece and overall I'm quite happy with how it turned out. I'm thinking of working into it further and building the shoulder up even more.




The photographs came out quite well considering it was the  fuiji that I was using but again I'm not happy with them. Just didn't have the impact that I wanted. 

If I could purr....

I'd be purring right now. Actually, scratch that. I can purr! Its one of my lesser known talents. I found this on the ksubi website under their 'projects' section. Why have I never found this before? There is some killer stuff on there!
