Kitchen Sink Experiment No. 1

Music video I made for Live Hazard Collective; music is from Guy Harries and iPad drawings are mine. The drawings are the result of immediate experimental improvisations reacting to Guy singing and playing. It was great fun to do!

Dolls Collection photographs

 

These photos are from an on-going series based on a fictional dolls collection from a fictional serial killer.



It's a big project which so far has taken the form of watercolours, ink drawings, collages, digital images, paintings and here, photographs. 

I loved doing the photographs using my old SLR camera. I also love doing the drawings, they relax me, I know it's paradoxical given the subject matter! But it's cathartic.

My presentation is now up on the Pecha Kucha website! The website describes me as "a London-based illustrator, motion-graphics designer, storyboard artist and Art Editor of Amelia's
magazine. This is stunning presentation of her work, sweet and bland - it is not. A reaction to politics, social issues, dreams, fantasies and sex - it is!" Oh bless them!

Pecha Kucha presentation

I will be doing a presentation of my work at Pecha Kucha this Monday evening at the Arches, London. I'm really excited by the opportunity. I will have 20 slides and 20 seconds per slides to tell you all about my illustration and animation work as ValocheDesigns.
It will be interesting to take a look at the other people presenting on the night and their presentation style. I am quite nervous as it's been a while since I have performed in front of a public! I used to be a modern dancer and I have also on several occasions presented live entertainment shows about 13 years ago (I studied theater and taught theater classes at that time). So yes, it's quite a while ago but I think it's like a bike, you can get back into it pretty soon with practice. Wish me good luck at the Pecha Kucha night!
