The Box Project

Over the last few days I have been working on a project at AUCB, where I am currently studying, in which we were given one cardboard box, and told to just be creative with the box! I decided to focus on the physical structure of the box, and created a lampshade. I took my inspiration from sculptor Tony Cragg's fluid layers, and fashion designer Issey Miyake's use of pleating to create a dynamic feel. 

I wanted to give my box a bright yellow lining, as I thought this would help the light reflect more easily and also give it an interesting contemporary feel.

I have created an ephemeral jewellery collection inspired by my fascination with the physical change between liquid and solid states. The jewellery is made from caramelised sugar which I have  manipulated into abstract shapes, before allowing each piece to cool into a permanent solid. I then took each one and sprayed it with chrome coloured paint, creating a beautiful precious appearance. The metallic façade also enhances the idea of fluidity of the organic shapes, as well as creating a transient sealant layer, coating the sugar with enamel, until an increase in room temperature begins the gradual and inevitable reversion to liquid.

This is an experimental video I created as part of my art project. I'm fascinated by the beautiful formations that ink droplets create in water, and I have documented my experience in this video.

into the tropics

This year I was lucky enough to spend Christmas on a beautiful island in the Maldives. I wanted to capture the steamy tropical surroundings in my photographs, with my own take on the classic white sand- turquoise sea- green palm tree combination. It was an amazing place to spend a week, aided by the  stunning architecture, minimalist-  with a focus on white paint and washed out wood paneling, courtesy of the chic Italian owners.

I would recommend Athuruga to anyone, utter tranquility (if you ignore the slightly annoying Italian singer..)  http://athurugabeach.diamonds-resorts.com/
