This wordless comic is inspired by the Cuban musical scene and landscape in the 40s and 50s. The comic follows a couple on their way to a dancing competition, using only image to communicate the details in their interactions and the energy of the club.

A short stopmotion animation exploring the Chilworth Gunpowder Mills. This animation project encapsulates my research on the Chilworth Gunpowder Mills industrial site, which was in use for centuries in Chilworth until its closure in the early 1920s. Since then, the site has been taken over by nature and it has transformed into a popular outdoor spot for the community. The animation explores the interaction between past and present, natural and industrial, and the clues to the local history and heritage that are hidden in plain sight.

Drawings by the River is a small collection of work based off of drawings made on location in the river Wey navigation between Godalming and Shalford. The compositions explore my personal experience in relation to the pathways and waterway though first person perspective. I used a combination of watercolour and pencils to convey the atmospheric qualities of the winter landscape through texture and mark-making. Illustrations from this project were selected for the Nanjing International Exhibition as part of the BonJour Art Book Fair (2026).
