The Beholder is a sculpture designed to bring positive attention to the roleplaying game ‘Dungeons and Dragons’. The game is heavily ridiculed and for some, this results in a need to hide the hobby. The head is coated in character sheets and the back transforms into a D20, a common dice used within the game. Inside of the head is a mythical world consisting of a dragon, waterfalls and dwarven temple. Within the temple is a small heart-shaped artefact which is lit up from within. This artefact represents the unnoticed need of acceptance for this form of escapism.

Memory Lane, A response to the concept of Youth from a personal frame. I am what defines youth to me, a time of freedom with safety rails. My work suggests naive imagination without a care in the world. It’s about the years I’ve already lived. Seven lanterns illuminate silhouettes of the memories I hold in my heart that have influenced who I am today. The smaller lanterns are moments, and the bigger ones are people or situations. These are placed on spaced plinths in a darkened area to allow the viewer to walk down memory lane with me.

This painting is a representation of the Spanish culture, and focuses on the famous Spanish Dance, Flamenco. Dancers use different types of emotional themes such as, romance and comfort to choreograph their dancers to music. After further research into the Spanish background, it shows how dancers originally used no music and only clapped their hands to the beat. The focal point of the painting is the red dress, the vibrant colour of red exhibits the qualities of the passion in which the dancers used to hypnotize the audience.

in history. The wax corset shields images of distorted ribs, the damaged spine and organs as they are crushed from the pressure of the boned garment. I wanted the sculpture to be discreet in this representation, with the damage only appearing strongest as light projects through the form.

This piece is representative of the distortion and disfigurement caused to women's bodies during the 1800's and other periods
