My reasoning behind Manchester Metropolitan being one of my choices is partly due to the sport facilities it offers, with one of the top lacrosse teams in the country, and as a keen lacrosse player, I would be very privileged to represent the university. With Manchester also being one of the oldest and largest art schools in Britain I will also have access to a huge variety and advanced range of facilities. The opportunities you offer with international exchanges interests me a great deal and would love to take part. I also have the majority of my family living in Manchester, as my parents moved south before I was born. This means that I have spent a lot of time in the area and already have a love for the city itself.
I see myself as having quite a meticulous approach to design and I love to solve problems that present themselves. I can also be a bit of a risk taker and like nothing better to see a design working that had been doubted previously.
I have had a lot of trouble with blogger.com accepting more than one image at a time, so as a result i have had to post each picture seperately. This also means that my images are in the reverse order and do not fit on to a single page. I would therefore appreciate it if you could start at the bottom and work up. Thank you.
Intitial ideas for the arm during a one week fashion project. "Natural Disaster" to design an adornment for someone that has been forced to survive in the wilderness.
Observational drawing with notes from a visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum. Pencil.
This was a project undertaken at college. I decided to produce a coffee table using the lamination of maple veneer. Huge amounts of experimentation was required, as I was both twisting and bending the strips at the same point whilst keeping the angles exactly the same. Four elegantly finished supports inserted to stop movement and a toughened glass top for the users viewing.
Development sheet for "Super Suitcase" project. combining researched images and drawings to develop my initial idea.
