The Kraken

These images were created as part of a group project. We created a story/poem about a Kraken and used a variety of mixed media to produce the images. The Krakens were created out of super sculpey.

Eating Disorders

These scans were for a project on eating disorders. I had to produce imagery for an article in a newspaper describing the problems that young people face with disorders such as Anorexia and Bulimia. I chose to use a scanner because it highlights the fact that people with these disorders are trapped and I chose to keep them black and white because it gives a serious undertone to the images. I asked the models to try and keep their faces covered to show that people usually try to hide these problems, and the chipped nail varnish and closed eyes adds to the effect of someone struggling.
