Digital & live

Image, sound
and space.

For Blending Spaces, 3D scans of the Crystal Palace became an audio-reactive installation, responding to the ambient music of live bands at Meraki in collaboration with Code events.

Impetus brings the audience into the work through a webcam and poseNet, using body position to create an interactive installation.

Material & physical

Making ideas
tangible.

Betwixed uses intricate Miura folds to explore the strength and impermanence of fabric. Its two installations connect Manchester College and Manchester Art Gallery.

Other material explorations include concrete with aged copper in Remnants Of Political Catastrophe, carved soap in Soap Figures, and paper geometry in Fashion & Freedom.

Collaboration & interpretation

Working across
forms and contexts.

My work with the Rutherston Loan Collection explores how digital storytelling can reinterpret historic artworks for a contemporary audience.

For Impulse, I worked with musician Joel Moffet on an emotive soundtrack reflecting the project’s themes of migration and the search for a better life.
