MIAMI SUPER HIGHWAY 1986

MIAMI SUPER HIGHWAY 1986 is a retro-futuristic series of 3D rendered images, recreating classic, analogue supercars with digital technology.

Inspired by spacecraft-like 1980s automotive design, early computer-age optimism for the future, this work is designed to invoke feelings of nostalgia through simple signifiers such as shape and colour.

Using non-conventional camera placement to capture retro design that can freely interact with lighting, the work challenges modern technological and social stagnation by framing optimism of the past.

Inflorescence

The natural world is in a state of perpetual flux, never remaining the same for too long. As Spring emerges every year, we start to see regrowth and new beginnings within nature. Witnessing the natural world around us blossom and bloom but because of pressures within contemporary life we lose our sense of connection and awareness.

Inflorescence allows each cluster of flowers along the floral axis represented to tell their own story with the help of quiet interventions, highlighting the way we see them and the differences each petal holds. Inviting us to appreciate and reconnect with nature, recognising that just like humans they each have a sense of individuality and uniqueness.

Organic  Attunement

As children we saw the world through fresh eyes, allowing us to notice small things around us. Colours always seemed more vibrant and brighter, our imagination was beautiful and mystical. Those sensations have gone for us as adults and although we know we are living on a constantly providing planet, we no longer seem to appreciate what it does for us.

I want Organic  Attunementto awaken a wider ecological consciousness that requires us to acknowledge and see our reciprocal relationship with the natural world. For its only when we truly listen and hear the communication of beings other than ourselves, that we will be capable of seeing the generosity of the natural environment we inhabit.

L’appel de L’inconnu

How much do we actually know about our own body?

Despite the countless representations of the body that we have seen throughout history in paintings, drawings, newspapers, medicine and various social media, it can still surprise us.

L’appel de l’inconnu explores the unfamiliarity in the known female form and the compulsive drive we all have for beauty. This body of work questions contradictions and tensions; the known and unknown, soft and hard, inanimate and animate. The duality of these images elicits the uncanny as well as the visual perception of Gestalt.

Although the images are aesthetically pleasing, the core message that we must re-evaluate how we see, know and understand the female form remains.
