Configuration Two
The Configuration Series came from Project 365, where the aim was to create a piece of artwork every day in 2021. This piece was the second in the series, where watercolours were explored in a new, abstract way. This piece was inspired by space and planets, with a sense of interconnectivity with the rest of the universe.

Configuration One
The Configuration Series came from Project 365, where the aim was to create a piece of artwork every day in 2021. This piece was the first of the series, where watercolours were explored in a new, abstract way. There was no aim with this piece, and it was based off of intuition and feeling during those moments of painting.

Feet in Threes
Feet are a part of the body that are not generally explored. The different styles and mediums of each of the three canvases highlights that not everything is the same and people are different, from their perception to their feet.

Medium: Black biro pen on Eragon book pages
Internal Strength
At the basis of the anatomy drawing is the story of a dragon rider, Eragon. To be a dragon rider you must have strength in all parts of your body and mind. The varying gradients of the biro highlight the contrast between the drawings, and the gaps between pages. The detailed drawings reflect the work of Leonardo da Vinci, and his use of writing around and on his anatomical drawings.

Medium: Clay and acrylic paint
Hand Prints
The handprints, symbolising individual identity, are painted ghostly to present a question of whether our prints can be identified as our own. There is another element to the piece in that our identity perhaps does not die when we do, but rather it only fades slightly. The unique shapes create an uneasiness, due to the body parts being in uncommon positions.

Lined Nine
A triple triptych of photograms resemble how simplistic a line can be, juxtaposed by the complexity of even the smallest of things of the body. The piece visually described a turning point in the detail-orientation of the project.

Uncovered
The human body in one of its most natural forms is frequently drawn in classes and private moments, differing between the eyes of the viewers. It is often said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Ed Sheeran
Taken from inspirations in 2016, including celebrity, song and film quotes, Ed Sheeran, and hyperrealism. These are amalgamated into a visual representation of how our influences can alter our perception, and in this case, the representation of the celebrity in a ‘black and white world’.

Rusty Human
Humans have turned to technology to lean on it more, from aid and assistance, to forcing expectations and boundaries. However metal wears down, as does the body. The use of scrap metal highlights the imperfections within the body, and the black spray paint can only cover parts of these imperfections. We may be able to use technology to aid the human body, but there will always be imperfections and ageing.

50 Shades of Blue
Things are not always black and white, nor what they seem. Colour plays a large role in emotions and race. Darker, subtle tones brings a sadness across the eyes and through the lips. Ultramarine, mauve and pale grey tears through the portrait, drawing you in.
