Victorian lady reading, 2023 -- fineliner pen on paper


︎︎︎
I fell in love with everything victorian the minute I met Austen and the Brontës. I became obsessed with what I’m still calling the “Jane Eyre haircut” and this lady was born.

1. Sketches/how I work

My desk is always very messy...
But this mess makes total sense to me and I simply cannot find inspiration without it. I love to work outside or in front of an open window: the windier the better!

Browse away, they can move!
4. The home alone checklist

A children’s book I wrote and illustrated for a uni show.

The story: Three siblings are left alone at home and the eldest give the other two a very boring list of things to do, to try and keep them in check.






︎︎︎ I sewed the signatures (my favourite part!) and made a hard cover. 



︎︎︎ In the show
5. Cedric Price’s biography

Cedric Price (1934-2003) was a British architect, an eccentric, and a visionary.
I picked his name out of a hat -- it was the final project of my first year at Camberwell. Of course, I wanted to make a book; I called it People First (Price’s motto).
It unfolds to make the shape of the Generator, Price's most iconic but unbuilt project (cf red drawing on tracing paper below).
