This set of Photographs is from when I was in Udaipur in October. I was teaching a Photography course at the local boys home and working with the charity Basti Ram who work facilitating healthcare and hygiene in local communities and access to education, making it possible for people to get well paid work and a have more promising and stable future. I have been documenting the local tribal community, during my time working with them. In the Daangi tribe they rely hugely on good weather conditions for their survival. There are two types of tribal communities living in this area; the Gameti community, who all have their own farms and have a fairly sustainable environment, and the Daangi community, who work as farmers on other farmers' land, so only have jobs if the season has been good and work is needed. They might also grow a small amounts of crops on their land surrounding their house. This makes their lifestyle unstable and unpredictable. If they have work, they can sell some of what they've helped farm in the town to get money for food and clothes. If they don't have work, they have to find other ways of...

'Play' an interactive mixed media art exhibition. The proposal for the project was selected by The Robert Rhys Gallery to be on display as for their '6 Weeks, 6 Artists Show in May 2013 All work exhibited was created specifically for this show. There was a mix of installation, film, photography, Illustration, 3D Work and typography.

This was an interactive Portrait exhibition called 'People From My Life' I did a shoot of a number of people in my life (people that had played an important role in some way; family, friend's, boss's, ex's, landlord's, musician's etc.) and selected a portrait of each for the exhibition. I left no information about each piece, the only information being the name of each person in the portrait. The viewers where then asked to guess what the relationship was between me and each person photographed (from a selection of options on stickers) and stick their answer next to the piece. I wanted to see how much the relationship between the Photographer affected the final image, whether it had an impact on the way it was taken/processed and how much an outsider could read from a single image.

This project was a personal project based on fear. These were Fears surrounding the body and it's separation from the mind; how fragile it is and how sometimes your mind can not control your body when you most want it to.

All different process's and media where used for this project. Part was film, part photography and other media. This is a small sample. The idea was based on making a 'Showreel' of my weakness's rather than my strengths - so all work created was about my greatest weakness's (but using my skills to express them)

This is a collection of my own poetry designed and hand bound using recycled materiel and laser cut titles. Each individual poem has a 3D object created to illustrate it using different processes and media such as metal work and mixing various plastics and fabric.  It is all designed to fit in the laser cut perspex box made specifically for the work.

This is a book I designed/illustrated titled 'I love..' It is a collection of different peoples lists of what they love, self published with blurb books.

Illustrations and Branding for Ska Band 'Anima Circus' They wanted something quite raw but iconic - this is what I came up with
