Poppy, development sketch in graphite on cartridge paper, 2011
My 22 year old cat, Poppy, recently passed away. On that day, I went out to the front of the house and was amazed to see a single poppy growing in the flowerbed in the month of November. This work takes that as its inspiration.
new houses from old memories axonometric study, pencil and digital collage, 2009
exploratory sketch study from my final 6th year project, demonstrating the concept of a central prefabricated core and flexible mezzanine. the shell began as an open entity into which the living patterns of future inhabitants would be imprinted.
happy 100th issue, stylist, pencil line and digital colour, competition, 2011
entry to stylist magazine’s 100th issue cover design competition. the cupcakes are decorated with items that I was inspired by in previous issues dating back to the first edition. personal favourite: the bejewelled cat.
terrace view, pencil and digital colour, 2009
final presentation illustration from a project developing a housing scheme for a site in sheffield. inhabitants could select the exterior finish to distinguish their house from the next, whilst assembling the interior of the house shell during the design process in line with their own living patterns.
selby stories, pencil on cartridge, 2009
part of an introductory task in the first year of my masters. this chap owns an antiques shop in selby, north yorkshire, and the badger and the butterflies are some of his prized curiosities. he told me about the heyday of selby’s paper mill and its then links with the industry. the mill is now dormant, an architectural antiquity much like the treasures he collects in his shop.
attachment and memory, pencil line and digital colour, concept drawing, 2009
exploring the idea that a psychological map of attachment is formed with every dwelling that we occupy in our lives…a part of those dwellings stays with us forever.
