ABOUT

As part of a workshop at Annie Atkins Studio in Dublin, I worked on movie props about Madge Syers, a fascinating woman who was brave enough to compete at the World Figure Skating Championships, regarded as an all-male event at the time. The scene sets after London Olympic Games 1908 when she won two gold and one bronze medal.

Process
I created movie props about Madge Syers’ life: personal photos, old papers, congratulations letters, telegrams and postcards, olympic games official tickets, ice skating shoes ad and a notebook with ice skating figures inspired by the book that she wrote.
