My aim is to further develop recent series ‘The Stranger’ and ‘Bump’ using cutting edge technology and facilities currently unavailable to me. My work is concerned with exploring the unsettling nature of the unknown and the nature of fear itself. The work I produce is dark both literally and philosophically which aim to ask the viewer to question their own personal demons and how they manifest themselves. Specifically I would like to investigate the creation of 'lenticular’ images which use multiple camera set ups treated Perspex framing to create layered images that appear to move with the viewer while remaining static (think of the cards you used to receive in cereal packets as a child that show a person such as a footballer appear to kick a ball when the card is manipulated through movement). I am looking to explore the physicality of how these images are made and how they can be used to psychological effect.

This opportunity would allow me access to equipment essential to the development of my work including studio lighting in a controlled lighting environment and use of multiple cameras at the same time.

My goal after leaving college was to develop myself into becoming a professional exhibiting artist so my main aim is to produce a body of work for exhibition. I feel this opportunity is the stepping stone I need to give myself the time and space to create the work and to create exposure for myself and my work. Technically I want to explore the possibility of creating lenticular images and to try to resolve projects already started.
