‘Elements’
Progressed from
Hertford Regional College — UAL Level 3 Extended Diploma in Photography
Statement
This project reflects on environmental concerns and addresses our relationship with the elements. We have become increasingly disconnected from nature and the power of the elements has become significantly more prominent as forest fires, floods, droughts, and extreme weather conditions become more common place. More than ever, we need to harness the power of the elements to prevent the destruction of earth and use; solar, geothermal, wind, biomass, and hydro energy sources to sustain our planet. This work associates the power of the elements with mother earth as she continues to guide us through our difficult journey.

‘Four Out of Six’
Progressed from
Hertford Regional College — UAL Level 3 & 4 Foundation Diploma in Art & Design
Statement
This piece was created to raise awareness on microplastics being found in the placentas of unborn babies. We have allowed plastic to infect and contaminate the innocence of the world. Microplastics are so small that we cannot see them with the naked eye, but they are there, unknown. They are in the air that we breathe, the food that we eat and the water that we drink, it’s inescapable. What does this now mean for our future? Have the consequences of our actions fated our future self to extinction?

‘Sustainability’
Progressed from
Hertford Regional College — UAL Level 3 & 4 Foundation Diploma in Art & Design
Statement
This project has been a deep exploration of medical waste and how it is produced, medicine is not always wasted in the ways we would expect it to be. A huge number of pharmaceutical drugs fall into the hands of recreational users which is what this piece is about. The purpose of this piece is to show that this is something any of us could be affected by. The scale of the installation justifies the extent of the problem. For context, each year it is recorded 16.3 million people abuse prescription drugs.

The background image is a combination of natural materials and colours, contrasting with the bold text and vibrant Perspex. Mushrooms can be invasive and therefore this reflects how we as humans are invasive and are affecting every corner of the planet.

‘Mother’
Progressed from
Hertford Regional College — UAL Level 3 & 4 Foundation Diploma in Art & Design
Statement
This painting is a personification of Mother Nature, she is a divine figure and ever-present in our lives, yet we still hurt her by scaring the earth to fuel our unsustainable lifestyles. Words like ‘Scars’ help aid in replacing the human element in the work as we are becoming so desensitized to images of our harm to the earth, that we treat it like an object without care. The gaze that she holds with the viewer shows her small figure in the scarred landscape of deforestation around her. She is vulnerable, yet her look is still hopeful and desperate for us to change. The damage we do is closing in on Mother Nature, and we are to blame.

‘Natures Gold Miners’
Progressed from
Hertford Regional College — UAL Level 3 & 4 Foundation Diploma in Art & Design
Statement
This piece addresses the cycle of food production and the idea that as a collective of individuals, we all share a responsibility to better understand food and soils importance to food production. It also emphasises how collectively we will leave an imprint that effects the consequences of everyone in the future. Using a mix of simple and natural and recycled materials, and a framed sculptural piece, to portray the cycle of life, the concept is to evoke a thoughtful response, highlighting how the simple worm, often overlooked, is a part of a cycle that is important in achieving best outcomes for future food production.
