Mannequin Hands
WIP
Bitmapped images of mannequin hands.
Each hand is screen printed in two layers
the hand cut and collaged together.
A mannequin is a puppet - a manipulated body.
The mannequin hands represent the new,
whilst the bitmap represents the old.
Hands show our identity. These hands
represent gender, race and authority as they
mimic famous gestures.
I am fascinated by the way in which hands
are so full of expression and can tell their
own story. They almost take on personas of
their own once taken away from the body.

Global Connectivity
A collage about communication with a
screen print of my 'Connectivity' pattern.
This is about connecting across the globe
and how this has evolved in scale with the
introduction of technology across time.
It is about media and our sources of
information and is also a reminder about
the power of communication.
We all live on this planet together. It is easy
to see things from a distance but we must
learn to really listen to each others needs.

Head Space
Exploring the many faces of the self.
An attempt to become more connected
to my digital work. Hand finishing my

introduction of personal artefacts help
me connect.
