Billboards for Unlimited Limited, 720p video, 2018
Watch⇗
This project was a response to a studio brief (Unlimited Limited) which called to produce work that investigated ideas around personalisation. The Billboards are centred around how the development of the Internet has created a space where opposing ideas of 'personal' and 'impersonal' exist closely. The first part of the project examines online content that applies templates or conventions in order to seem individualised for each user, but are ultimately created to be mass-consumed.

A Book of Sorts for Unconventional Publishing, 68 pages, 110 × 160 mm, 2020
The first aim of this brief was to make a book that was self-reflexive, that is a book that refers to itself, and its conventions and creation. This is done by taking elements particular to books and subverting them, such as replacing the page numbers with symbolic markers which move as the book progresses. Also, the contents page (slash front cover) offers loose descriptions and vague references to what each double-spread contains. The second aim was to draw associations between various “things”. The book meanders between these “things” and their connections, which are made through visual or thematic similarities.
