Multimedia

Here are two multimedia pieces I have been working on,
A personal piece that I have done called 'The Allotments' is about Falmouth University and the healthy sustainable side of the campus. I have investigated the allotments as they have re-opened this year with much enthusiasm from the students. The growers are trying to expand the plot so that more people can get involved, there is a massive community side to gardening and soon there will be more seats and a Cobb. I also spoke to the chef and kitchen staff at the campus and their view on healthy eating and the use of local, fresh homegrown vegetables which they use constantly.
I enjoyed this project and learned a lot about sustainable living and community.


Another piece that was a group one with my peers, Tristan Potter, Tom Sandberg, Freddie Reed, Ellen Pearson and  Erika Lawrence. We focused on a sport called Motocross and specifically a 14 year old rider called Jake, he has a passion for this sport and has been riding as a hobby and competitively for years.

Wonderland


                 
 I had to opportunity to photograph an interesting fun event a couple of weeks ago. Wendy is a performance artist who does a variety of things. She started a Kick starter to raise money for an interactive adaptation of 'Alice in Wonderland' in her very own forest. Wendy lives in Luxulyan Valley which is a tucked away forest with hobbit houses and perfect for her play. She wanted to create 'Wonderland' in her own woodland and with help from many friends it was made possible. With actors, circus performers, singers and many other people just helping out with costume, make-up and the design, it was a crazy event that really was well put together. Wendy herself was Alice and her husband was the White Rabbit, the play was to happen on Easter Sunday with three performances to commence. The public would arrive to a field where the play would start and then when the White Rabbit runs towards the forest so does Alice and the public follow her along a magical journey filled with humour, singing and entertainment.
