Artist/ Designer - Graven Images - Electrical Design by GSWDH (Sculpture)
Graven Images is a research piece looking into the possible effect of polarized surfaces with different types of 'lens' and their relative orientation. While this series of pieces began material and performance research it also taps into my continued interest in the perception of technology in contemporary culture and its implications on us.
The series of 4 hung maquette 800mm in diameter and up to 150mm in depth draws on Christian religious themes and motifs found in church architecture and explores them in the aesthetic of the scientific hence the title for the series.

Designer - 'AT-ONE-MENT' - Collaberation with Wanbing Huang Studio (Women's Wear Fashion)
Working with Wanbing Huang Studio I was responsible for helping Wanbing develop moving textiles for the first garments in her AT-ONE-MENT collection. the project envisaged actuated elements which would perform routines and coordinated performances on the garment. Each of the different actuated textiles gestures and form were based on moments in Wanbing's dreams with a view to try and embody the emotional sensation she experienced in gestures.
Due to the complicated nature of the garments and the number of individual moving parts required more traditional forms of actuation, such as motors or pressure based systems were rules out due to weight, therefore i proposed the use of Titanium Nitinol, a shape memory alloy which when activated with an electrical current can be used to actuate an assembly.

Designer - Horizons - .OBJ - Kilkenny Arts Festival, The National Design and Craft Gallery (Sculpture)
Working again with Sebastian Kite Studio, the Horizons sculpture was the result of a studio interest in the composition of white light and the exploration of CNC/ linear actuation in my collaboration with Tom Hendrey on our Marche Sur La Lune series.
The piece explore ambient white light created thorough complimentary colours. as the 2 lights moving at different rates travel the length of the sculpture a sense of rising and falling mood is created. at the moment of the crossing the lights appear to be white and a general condition of which light can be fleetingly perceived before the 2 colours move apart and the cycle continues.
March 2018 - Present
Designer - Marche Sur La Lune - Collaberation with Tomas Hendrey (Painter/ Sculpture)
Working Tom Hendrey we have begun producing a series of sculptural and surface works aiming to challenge boundary between the digital and analogue. Initially based on the surfaces of celestial bodies in our solar system, this series aims to explores how technologies mediates our access to subjects and the possibility of incorporating digital devices and processes into more traditional analogue techniques of manufacture to enhance and express subject matter.
April 2018
Designer - Continuum II - Arte Laguna Prize - Venice (Installation)
Following showing the first iteration in this series of works with SKS at the saarchigallery Continuum was shortlist for the Arte Laguna Prize.
I designed this second iteration in the series to moving away from projected animation and installation and to focus more on non site specific gallery focused pieces. By moving the light around the sculpture Continuum II changes the audiences visual access through the piece around the space constantly changing between a reflective and permeable object.
December 2017
Fabricator - Maquette for Bharti Kher - Hauser & Wirth/ Russel Sage Studio
Engaged by Russel Sage Studio, this short project was to produce a 3 dimensional demountable maquette/ architectural model of Hauser & Writh's Fife hotel under development which Bharti Kher had been commissioned to design work to decorate.
The simple 1:5 opaque and clear acrylic model allowed for the artists to treat like a 3 dimensional white board onto which to test ideas before these elements would be scanned and inflated to 1:1 size for final detailing by the artists and submission to the interior design team and developers.

Designer/ Production managers - Continuum - A. Lange & Söhne at the Saatchi Gallery
The first completed project with Sebastian Kite Studio and the first iteration in this series of sculptures/ installations, Continuum was commissioned by A. Lange & Söhne to be exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery , explored the themes of time and colour, and spatial perception to emulate the conception of the Saxonia range of time pieces.
