MRI Drawings

             A collection of drawings created as illustrations of the MRI process. The first ever MRI data was coloured in using colouring pencils. 




2015
The Magic Calendar Drawings

            Created over a year, The Magic Calendar is a collection of drawings exploring science, magic and ritual throughout the year. These illustrations were based on scientific discoveries and mathematical developments (such as the inventon of the square root sign) and how such development changed how mathematical processes were thought about, communicated and expressed.





2010
The Infinite Landscape

            The infinite landscape is a series of 11 drawings that connect to each other in any order. Each image shows part of a landscape, and when all the images are lined up they form a wider horizon of mountains, holes, valleys, clouds, rock formations and cliffs. It is possible to create multiple combinations of landscapes. I wanted to create a playful and interactive drawing that was underpinned by the possiblities of multiple numerical combinations and orderings.
