Art Car

In the Summer I assisted Sarah May who was creating an installation for the End of the Road festival. We ended up transforming a little Austin into a beautiful Art Car...

We made these shapes to fill the inside (and be spilling out of) of the car...

Unfortunately, due to a lovely holiday in Berlin, I didn't get to see the installation at the finished stage but here are some of Sarah's photos...

The Creative Director was David Carter and Sophie Ellis-Bextor curated evening soirees during the 2 weeks the hotel was open. Here are some images from Cordelia's Blog that show how the props were used and what the final space looked like.

Back in the Summer I assisted Cordelia Weston with creating props for the pop up hotel The Jacques Townhouse. The Creative Director of the project was David Carter, while Cordelia Weston was Creative Stylist. We created beautiful Marie-Antoinette style cakes and made beautiful pompoms. Here are some images that I took during the process.

We varnished lots and lots of sweets...

Varnishing Macaroons is harder than you'd expect...

We painted pears and cherries white...

Our tasty looking cakes...

Jack Wills

2011-01-03T18:41:00.001Z

In the Summer I assisted Sarah May on a shoot for Jack Wills AW/10. The photographer was Elaine Constantine. I had SO much fun doing this shoot as we were at an amazing house in a quaint village and Elaine worked in a very natural way, filming the models to really capture the mood of the collection.

We had a lovely drive in the sunshine up to our location...

And this is what greeted us upon our arrival...

The interior was a grand as the exterior...

In the heat of the summer we needed it to be Autumn...

The finale was an amazing party scene, which so really fun to set up. There was music in the form of a band and a dj, apple juice in beer bottles and quite a few extras, making it a really great atmosphere.

I made a metal ram head...

We made a range of masks...

The range of props...

I will post the final images and video shortly
