Lungs
Dissection of the lungs, with heart, ventricles and oesophagus. My starting point was looking through anatomy books for the Connections project. I took an interest to how organs are shown in different shapes and arrangements based on the way the body is cut. Done in watercolour, salt and pen.
Pig Skull
Ever wondered what the inside of a pigs skull looks like? God knows why I did. Here the Skull cavity was coated in latex, then a cast was made to make wax replicas. They look more like squashed rats than anything else but it was an interesting process to go through.

Connections Project
Drawings and samples for felted lighting idea. This project was based on brain cavities of different animals. I dissected and boiled a pig's head for research – wouldn't recommend it in a student flat.
Structure & Surface Necklace
This necklace is based on some continuous line drawings of conkers, that I did as part of the Structure & Surface project. I remade the shapes in copper, pressed, and heated them for different colours. It's quite a difficult piece to wear because of it's size, but I've worn it a couple of times and it hasn't broken yet so I'm quite pleased.
Glass bubble that only it's mother could love
I had my Glass Blowing induction a couple of weeks ago, and everyone in my class got to blow glass bubbles as the first exercise. Once it was annealed we were then let loose on the grinders and cutters etc. for decorating. I quenched mine for cracks and sandblasted the inside. The rim needs polishing and a base ground into it yet, but I'm unsure when I can get that done. Its a bit ugly at the moment but it doesn't matter, I'll love it forever!!
