A Masquerade
Filmed in The National Media Museum’s Animation Booth, this piece was made as part of the AYUP scheme, each animator spending up to four weeks animating under the watchful eye of the museum visitors.
A Masquerade is a short piece about the dangers of inviting a stranger into your home. In this film I am exploring the idea of disguise and social behaviour, looking at the masks we wear everyday to hide and protect ourselves from others. At the end of the film these disguises crumble leaving only the raw reality of the unfortunate host and her guest.

Islington Mill Exhibition
Islington Mill ‘You Fancy Animal’ exhibition- April 2008
You Fancy Animal showcased the artists’ use of a low tech and often handmade approach. In this they were moving against a lot of the current trends in a contemporary art scene that seemed to celebrate both the high tech and the purely conceptual. The show embraced craft, skilled and often time consuming, intricate work which saw the process of making as important as the finished piece. Each artist aimed to tell a story, explore ideas and make the viewer think without attempting to get a reaction via shock or disgust. You Fancy Animal demonstrated that artists do not need expensive materials to make work and celebrated the beauty of the flawed.
I exhibited two pieces:
The LycanthropistA series of models detailing mans transformation into a wolf

The Ancestor, The Great Bear and The King of NowhereAn animation following the story of a bear god who travels to the frozen wastes to take revenge on an evil king who is responsible for the destruction of the bears (see below for stills)
