Organised Time 

The photographer of Time, Tim, demonstrates from a fixed point of reference the technological progression of photography within the ideas of documenting the movements synonymous with Nature and Space in accordance with increments of time. By blending techniques of the Avante-Garde and Contemporary practise Tim poses the solidarity and petrification of the Long Exposure against the Glass pane like fragility of the ChronoPhotographic image stack, by superimposing 32,400 images to obtain the ‘View’ of Past, Present and Future within one singularity laying each image upon the other like the pages of a book.

This work explores the way in which black people have been represented throughout the years all up to today and how they have been mistreated and felt to be left out of society as they always have the stigma around them not fitting it and being stereotyped into a negative category. Although they are looked down upon as outcasts they have wonderful stories about their past, religion and way of living such as their unique makeup looks and hair styles and also their roots which they came from being very powerful. She wanted to base her theme of work around positivity towards black people and create work from positive movements rather than the typical negative issues.

Fulfilling the Utopian Dream of Social Housing

Fulfilling the Utopian Dream of Social Housing focuses on the introduction of state-owned housing from post-world war to present. What was initially promised as a utopia for veterans returning from the war, can be seen to progress with modernism and degrade with government neglect through the years, forced by economic and social decline. This work uses the created image to impose these past idealisms onto the 21st century social estates to reflect and recreate the initial promise and ideas those estates were built upon.

Urban Abstractions

 Architecture is one of the most, if not the most prominent feature of our day-to-day life. Whether it be our home, a shop, the institutions in which we receive our education or the place we call work. There is not a second that goes by that it does not surround us.

‘Urban Abstractions’ endeavours to reduce these vast structures into mesmerizing composition in their own individual right. In the style of abstract paintings, these ‘abstractions’ showcase the hidden geometrical elements that shape our surroundings that we often choose to ignore.

Amalgamation

Hybridity is the fusion of two cultures. Amalgamation explores my British-Hindu identity, navigating through these rich cultures by using clothing as a symbol of ethnicity. The act of dressing is key to expressing one’s identity. Amalgamation investigates empowerment through structured poses and gestures, motivated by a personal experience of racism.

Racism is everywhere, persisting and shown to be increasing.

Statistics show:

In 2019-20, 105,090 cases were reported of hate crime.

UK schools reported over 60,000 racism cases in schools over the past five years.

Racial abuse rose by 43% since 2019 in football.

The purpose of this project is to remind viewers culture is something to be proud of. The feeling of being belittled because of your culture should NEVER be accepted nor experienced. Amalgamation aims to appreciate and celebrate diversity.

Inside

Whilst being locked in doors for over year, boredom has become a familiar and dreaded foe most of us have faced. Activities that were enjoyed and anticipated have become a mundane chore that is used to get through the day. The rapid spread of COVID-19 forced quick action and so national lockdowns were implemented to reduce the spread and take the pressure of the NHS. In doing so, many people’s lives suddenly stopped and are yet to be resumed. Desks were left empty; restaurants and shops were closed, seeing family was made impossible and even the freedom of walking was restricted. This series focuses on the déjà vu feeling many felt whilst living the same day every day for the past year. The images represent the transition from living to existing and the boredom of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
