Femme Fatale

Shadow of the Bat

Portsmouth Uni: Zine

This was a group project where we had to create a zine based on a chosen theme/topic. My groups theme was 'pet hates' and so each of us created 3 images based on our hates. My three were 'Spoilt teenage girls', 'Cosmetic surgery' and 'Older women dressing and acting younger than their age'.







Portsmouth Uni: Social Awareness.

My theme for this project was 'Censorship' and the many ways it effects society and our culture. I focused on the censoring of free speech and how more and more of what people say is twisted and obscured by the media and governement to suit their needs.

Portsmouth Uni: Number Through Print.

The aim of this project was to create an image or series of images that involve or reference a number(s), doing so using print making techniques. I decided to base my project on religion, more specifically on the book 'Dante's Inferno' which is a poem about the medievil belief of the '9 stages of Hell'. Each stage made for different types of sinners with different punishments. I focused on the 9th circle, which was split into four regions - traitors to their fellow man, traitors to their country, traitors to their guests/hosts and the last of which was where lucifer was held.

Region 1: Sinners are frozen in ice with only their faces showing.

Region 2: Sinners body is in ice with their heads poking out so as to be lashed at by Lucifers wings.

Region 3: Sinners facial features are frozen over.

 

Portsmouth Uni (2011): Sequential.

The aim for this project was to create a series of images which created a sequence with some form of narrative. I chose to focus on a character I created and show a sequence of images at different stages of its life, from birth to death. The story behind the character is that he's dopey and slow but just wants to fit in wherever he goes in life. I added a simple rhyme to add to the narrative. (Click on images to enlarge).
