CONTAINER
Final Major Project
2010

A continuation of work from a previous semester. CONTAINER, is a series dip
moulded Natural Rubber Latex vessels which utilise the elastic quality of their material;
manufacturing process and in the function they serve- to stretch and squash to hold
a larger capacity and fit into smaller spaces than at first seems.

The Natural Rubber Latex is enhanced by a series of mitred copper rectangles
and spun copper rings that give form and rigidity, and perform as interchangeable fixtures.
Their precious and long lasting material qualities invite you to keep them,
opposed to the Latex vessels which age, degrade and are replaced.

Dip Moulded Natural Rubber Latex
Transparent black, Scarlet & Yellow / Solid Black
Small low / Small medium / Small tall / Large low / Large tall

Spun Copper Fixtures
Ø80mm / Ø100mm / Ø 120mm / Ø 140mm / Ø 160mm

Mitered Copper rectangles
L120mm / L160mm

Dip moulded natural latex rubber
Transparent black, white and pink / solid black

To hold just about anything the containers stretch and squash to hold a larger
capacity and fit into smaller spaces than at first seems possible.
A vacuum can be created by squeezing out all the air, or the stucture retained by trapping air inside.

100% biodegradable. Once the latex starts to degrade or becomes contaminated,
the containers can be composted. Their more precious and permanent
rings and bungs, that fix onto the top of the conatiners to aid function,
should be kept, and attached to your next container.

TWELVE X TWELVE
2010

Loughborough Univeristy
Brass Shim, Powder Coated Ceramic Composite
Twelve cushioned clock mechanisms & Twelve flip hour mechanisms

BRIEF: to design an artifact that 'tells the time. For Loughborough Universities Council Chamber.
A clock / time piece that displays innovation and creativity it its conception:
that will function effectivly over a long period of time and would symbolise in some way,
Loughborough Univerity in the 21st Century

LOCATION: Council Chamber, Hazelrigg and Rutland buildings, Loughborough University

INSTALLATION: September 2010




Each hand is mounted on its own axis. The minute is told by all twelve hands moving in syncrony.
The hour is indicated by each hand flipping over on the hour to reveal a brass finish and rotates at the end of the hour to return to a matt black finish

LOFT
2008-2009

Dip moulded natural latex rubber
Wooden internal structure
Hand coloured

Addressing a module brief 'the environment'. Loft is an investigation of how we accumulate
waste and how we dispose of it. Proposing a latex skin, that utilises unwanted items to build the
mass of the piece of furniture. The stretchy and tactile quality of the rubber allows interaction,
and suggests what could be lurking inside.

NET FOUNDRY
2009

Recycled 180 gsm board in: ebony black / bright red / china white
Fonts: Helvetica / Futura
Point size: 500pt

A project for 'THE HUB' in Sleeford - a 3D typographic product.

The laser cut net of the letter can be snipped away from its backing sheet and
constructed into a 3Dimentional structure. The backing sheet can be kept for its
typographic information and as a 'negaitve' to the product.

ORGANIC MULTIPLES
2007-2008

White stonewear
Transparent glaze

1st Year project addressing the brief to make 'a bench, a table, a wall or surface'.
The result was a organic module that tesselates on itself to make versitile structure.
Constructed from plaster models and slip cast in white stonewear.

DUSTPAN & BRUSH
2007

Fly pressed, threaded and brushed aluminium
Used milk bottles

A brief to rethink a 'dustpan & brush'.
The outcome proposed empty containers (such as milk bottles) to collect waste, which are then
thrown away when full. The 'pan' was developed to utilise the obsolete container, screwed on
and off using the existing thread. A perminant fixture that can be reused.

VIDEO COMING SOON....

TWELVE X TWELVE utilises traditional principlals of telling the time with our
associations of where hours and minutes are positioned around a clock face,
and builds on this notion to tell time in an inovative way.

Initiated from associations of how we tell the time, and inspired by existing
mechanisms in billboards, and bank and rail clocks. TWELVE X TWELVE creates
a new and exciting language with a clean visual of geometry and order with a twist.
Reflecting Loughborough University in the 21st century.
