Alistair in Wonderland

A Stop-Motion Animatic Film

Using Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as a source text, I have created my very own story in which 'Alice' is a little boy named Alistair, 'Dina' is a dog, the piglet is a hippopotamus and the 'Cheshire Cat' is a wombat. As many believe that Carroll used his characters to make satirical comments about the society in which he lived, I have constructed each scene to pick apart an element of the society in which I live. Simply click on a frame from one of the scenes above in order to read more about it.

The final film can be found here.

Darling

A costume for the World of Wearable Arts Show (W.O.W.) 2016

One of my course papers - 'Digital Skins' - was deliberately aligned with 2016's W.O.W. show in order to give my classmates and I the opportunity to enter into the Performance Art section of this fantastic event.

This section's theme was described as 'a bleak place' in 2084, and we were to design and create a circus performer from this time. As a team, Lara Galea, Sophie McIntyre and I took Darling from a simple, scribbled sketch on a page of brainstormed ideas and watched her evolve into the sweet monstrosity she is today. We were astounded to discover that - after sending her off to Nelson - she was in fact accepted as one of the finalists, and actually make an appearance in the show. Of course we all flew down to Wellington to see her in the preview show, and Lara stayed long enough to tell us later that she had won a runner-up prize for the "WOW Factor" award!

Darling is currently still in the possession of W.O.W. and may be exhibited in museums if selected for this. We are very proud of our freaky fabric child.

Mimi & Yuyu were here.
This space is blank because this year's costume garments made by my team and I were accepted into the World of Wearable Arts show! As per the rules, I must remove all images of them from online until after the show.
