About me
I have excellent presentation skills and I have the confidence to work on Photoshop and illustrator and use these tools to communicate visually. My last body of work was a hard bound book titled Dead Man's patterns and was produced in association with Dege & Skinner Savile row No.10. This book crosses over from fashion to fine art and is a visual journey revolving around the craftsmanship and pattern making at the Savile row. My process started with a gift-a set of bespoke patterns of a dead client. There was a sense of nostalgia, which I wanted to capture within my artwork. So in theory this book starts with an idea-the patterns and then is put through a process of analysis, manipulation and are distorted to find new shape, form and print. All very graphic and visually stimulating. This is a book, which highlights sources of inspiration and includes my research with the National Army museum and their archives of uniforms in Sand Hurst, Costumier Carlo Manzi, Angels, the British Library and lastly traditions of the Savile row to name a few. I have collaborated with photographers, writers, models, interior designers and individuals from the fashion/film and music world to successfully produce this book.
I am interested in Research and am constantly looking and finding new sources of inspiration and performing relevant archiving methods. My preferred being either a traditional sense in the form of a book or digital versions.
