 Digital collage, combining scanned textures with geometric forms. By layering and adjusting colour and composition, it explores the balance between structure and materiality, precision and imperfection.


07. 1–10


 07. 1–10 extends the ideas explored in the 100 Series, evolving the concepts introduced in Experiment 07. Through the use of new compositional formats and responsive elements, 07.1 further investigates how visual fragments can be reinterpreted through the interplay of motion and sound.



100 Series


 A collection of one hundred audiovisual experiments exploring ambient colour, light, and movement. The project focuses on research into digital collage and the use of new formats to reinterpret visual and spatial experience.

A Place to Hide 

A series of works exploring sound and image using simple, gestalt-based principles, focusing on perception, balance, and the visual translation of auditory patterns.

Tokaido
“Tokaido” is an audio-visual work inspired by the Shinkansen bullet train from Kyoto to Tokyo. It captures the sensation of speed and movement, translating shifting landscapes and urban-rural contrasts into layered visuals and immersive sound.

Through dynamic imagery, rhythmic editing, and immersive sound design, the work evokes the continuous flow of travel, the contrasts between urban and rural spaces, and the fleeting moments of observation that define a journey at high velocity.

U Turn
In times of unrest, public action challenges established systems—from eviction law to student grades and PPE—giving rise to new forms of expression and discourse.

This audio-visual work explores the ‘U-turn’—literally and abstractly—as a response to protest and a shift toward new directions. Combining speeches, quotes, and live recordings from politicians, it questions how structured landscapes shape our perception and consciousness.

Fog
This piece of work is a collaboration with the composer Amos Cochran, combining visual and auditory approaches to explore the interplay between sound, space, and perception. Together, we investigate how compositional structures can inform and interact with visual design, creating a multidisciplinary experience where music and imagery converge to shape rhythm, atmosphere, and spatial understanding.

Shoulders of Idiots
A project examining whether political parties can erase their history, focusing on the UK Conservatives’ 2010 deletion of ten years of speeches and the tension between transparency and change.
Designing Science
A discussion on the use of graphics within information design, exploring how visual strategies clarify complex data and enhance communication.
