The Ball-Joint Doll


Here is my first attempt at a Ball-Joint Doll. I rather think that she turned out well! She will be on display at the University of Worcester from Wednesday until Sunday! So get going!

Annabelle was Queen of the floating cities. She hadn’t been Queen for long, it had only been two short months since her father had died, leaving the huge responsibility of leadership on her head.

For this image I was experimenting with the number of characters I could fit into an image. I have taken over 2000 photos of this scene trying to get it right, so I hope you like the result!

Instillation Art



I have very recently completed an Instillation for the University of Worcester to raise awareness of the Degree Show at the end of this month. Above is the final finished thing available to view at your leisure at Reindeer Court, Worcester. The entire thing has been created out of recycled materials sourced from WRE. Below are the concept images.
