~Vacuum formed island ~ 
Top is a red landscape of fantastical buildings, the bottom is engulfed in corals, the sea in between is represented by 
corrugated plastic board. This is hung from the ceiling by clear line; the island floats in space and can be then seen as a
separate entity to the room. 


~Other forms ~ 
Other forms were created using the same vacuum form process that gave a tactile sense of the island
 - its substance and its ethos, an complete encapsulation of the island in form. Four were mounted on the wall, 
each with various tactile qualities but all very plastic.


~Book ~ 
At the end of the anchor chain attached to the island lay a book. The book had hard black laminate covers, was bound with 
zip ties and the pages were all laminated. Its content consisted of research, experimentation, images portraying of concept 
and documentation of project.

Remember seeing his work at the Arnolfini. Something capturing/hypnotic in the vibrancy of his work. Synthetic appearance. 

Island: The thought of an invisible governing body, akin to 1984 by Orwell.

From top left clockwise: Mould for vacuum form island top, melted beads, ironed plastic bags, vacuum form experiments, more plastic bags.

Architectural / research of form. Science fiction, man made islands..

Coral, shells and natural oceanic forms.

Plastics - experiments, facts, treatments and forms.

Unknown Land : The Beginning

Another Group project, this one longer (4 weeks)

Brief: Create a Nation

First agreed idea - start from scratch, build out of plastic in the North Pacific Gyre, in which there is 'an area the size of texas' with a higher count of plastic to marine-life ratio.

Of course I take no personal Credit for the following work, it was entirely collective.
