Exhibitions
A mixed media solo exhibition exploring the design, ecology and biodiversity found within the public garden spaces of the Barbican Estate. Initially I was drawn to the stark architectural contrasts; greenery set-against brutalist architecture and the surrounding city streets. As the project grew and now more acquainted with the Barbican gardens, I realised that each garden area can been seen as mimicking specific natural environments suiting different types of planting and supporting different kinds of wildlife in turn.

Quiet Earth I is a site-specific projection based installation that was produced over a 10 day period for the Canalside Gallery, ASC Alperton. site-specific projection based installation developed over a 10 day period The project aimed to investigate habitat loss and biodiversity fragmentation within the urban/suburban environment. The project primarily focused on locations that I had identified as "countryside" islands within my local urban/suburban environment. These "islands"
are areas that include a mixture of undeveloped green spaces and ancient features and re-wilded abandoned sites.

"Recollections of a Fragmented Landscape 2" was selected for the exhibition and is part of a series of photographic works made using “found” objects, placed in front of the camera lens to interrupt, distort and alter the captured images. Throwaway, "single use” objects such as plastic containers or cellophane sweet wrappers have been used. Initially, these works were a means to view familiar suburban /urban green spaces in new ways, bringing a sense of wonder to special environments that can easily be overlooked or taken for granted.
