About Me.
I want to fulfil my design ambitions; leaving London behind and moving into a new environment, a new city, will bring new ideas and inspiration to my thoughts and work. I feel that Nottingham has the facilities that will enable me to work to the best of my ability and channel my creativity.
On my foundation, I found that I became aware of how artists use space in the context of fine art. The Choreographing you exhibition at the Hayward Gallery was particularly eye opening, in so far as it included works that employed the use of space, light and material to evoke different responses. How an audience reacts to a space is intriguing. Certain elements can provoke extremely varied responses, which is something I hope to explore. The structure and layout of a space is particularly important when considering how this space may be filled. I want to discover the relationship between, the structural design of a space and how it affects the interior furnishings and fittings.
On the course, I want to design new interiors and furnishings, build up a portfolio of work finished to a professional standard, to learn skills that I can and will use during and after the course and lastly to apply my own individual visual language to interior architecture and design.

Ideas from shapes and features of jellyfish
Initial ideas of buildings and possible window creations or manifestations inspired by drawings and recordings from features of jellyfish.
Observational drawings of jellyfish 1
I visited ‘Siam Ocean World’ (largest aquarium in South-East Asia) whilst in Bangkok. Jellyfish became a fascination and sparked ideas towards my final major project. The top of a jellyfish, the bubble acts as its body as well as its' brain. The idea of creating a space using this shape and inspiration from jellyfish is what I am currently pursuing.
Inspiration from material
Drawings of inspiration from this material using the idea that holes in the material could be a space and experimenting with geometric shapes mirrored by the sequins and beads that the holes are surrounded by.
Photography - London
In my spare time I enjoy walking around central London, particularly East London around Old Street. This is where I find inspiration for my art from shops to people to music but mostly buildings and architecture. Although I specialise (at Camberwell) in spatial design I, appreciate the beauty of photography. Vanishing points and directions of light and line stand out to my eye, this is demonstrated below.
