I am a student on the Photomedia pathway of the UAL Art and Design foundation Diploma, currently working towards an exhibition for my Final Major Project. I am exploring creature design through drawing and model making.

I am inspired by nature, architecture, science and machinery, as well as fiction, particularly sci-fi and fantasy. I think this is apparent in the work I have done for this course, which has often been based on and inspired by the world around me.

My favourite area of art to work in is 3D design, both the designing and making of models, puppets, sets and props. In this course I have explored wire, paper and ceramic sculpture, woodwork, textiles, latex and plaster casting. Next year I will be studying Modelmaking at the Arts University Bournemouth and hope to follow a career in this area. I think this course has been a great way to develop a wide range of skills to better prepare me for University.
