Client: Course work for MA

Date: 2008

Project: MA Central St Martins final project piece

Description: A few pages from a book I wrote and illustrated for my MA about a rabbit on a road trip setting his friends free from the plastic they’ve been wrapped in. Rewilding them in some way using a magical kaleidoscope which I made from driftwood, air clay, paper, feathers and a toy windmill. Weirdly it is almost exactly the same plot-line of the recent Barbie film.

I used photographs of Scotland that I had taken as well as Kew Bridge Ecovillage and other squatted land, community gardens and city farms as collage material. The patterns that were generated from the animals’ “awakenings” formed the basis of future work.
