Summary
Final work

Across my work - whether collage, video, or photoshoots - my focus is on combining various visual motifs to preserve memory, convey emotion and to tell a story. My collages are made physically, curating images and objects into new narratives before scanning them in. I find that collaging in a more tangible way feels like solving a puzzle and is satisfying for my adhd brain. I have also directed shoots with independent fashion brands and photographers, collaborating creatively as a team.

In an ever growing technological landscape, it is important to acknowledge the tangible things around us and the ways in which we preserve memory and tell stories passively without realising; the objects and things that represent us and tell stories about who we are. I created "all my things" in our Creative Enquiry unit, in which I explored the best ways we can preserve memory, particularly focusing on tangible objects. This project is about the passive and everyday objects in our lives - the things we choose to keep, how we choose to decorate ourselves & our objects, and what this says about our individual character and stories of our lives.
