About me
I worked for the Producer Nick Barton at Harbour Pictures Productions on TV documentaries such as GREAT EXCAVATIONS (6 x 1 hour documentary for C4) and feature films such as CALENDAR GIRLS & KINKY BOOTS. I spent the summer of 2015 working to the set decorators brief on SWALLOWS & AMAZONS in the Art Department; researching, making props, template making, signwriting/painting, ageing, and generally being all round non stop helpful!
In 2016 I worked with Production Designer Jane Brodie on DOMESTIC POLICY a short film for Film London by Alicia MacDonald (Director) and Helen Grearson (Producer). In July 2016 I worked for Set Decorator Charlotte Watts and Assistant Art Director Jane Brodie on the new feature film THE DEATH OF STALIN, upholstering on-set, flag making, upholstering Stalins plinth and Emblem making, proving once again, I am still skilled with a scalpel! I worked for Charlotte again on ON CHESIL BEACH working on the upholstery, soft furnishings and sewing for three of the key sets with my upholstery colleagues.
Upholstery
I completed five years City and Guilds upholstery training at the London Metropolitan University, East London in 2009, receiving an award from the Worshipful Company of Upholders. Victorian iron back chairs are my speciality – a unique synergy between the industrial and the decadent.
I have co-curated and participated in various arts exhibitions and pop up shop events as well as founding The London Chair Collective. Events include;
Selected for The Discerning Eye Art Competition Autumn 2016
May removed 2 - Dulwich Artists Open House
May 2013 - Second Sitters Exhibition at the Cass
September 2012 - The London Design Festival
August 2012 - Traces London, an immersive theatrical exhibition in an derelict East End pub
December 2011 - Co Curated and Exhibited in Hatchet & Helve, Standpoint Gallery, London N1
July 2011 - Artsmart London
I live and work in and around Bethnal Green, East London but will travel anywhere work takes me!
