Overview: Member of core art department. Working closely with heads of art department. Given creative control of 'The Lion, the Kitsch and the Wardrobe' installation alongside Justine Marshall and Caspar Phillips in 2019. Using provided materials (old wardrobe, holographic material, lion heads) we created a cohesive design and then built the installation. Mostly worked on the paint job and finishing/dressing but also cut stencils, built the 'wings' and helped secure the installation in situ. 2018 put in charge of realising Lizy Bending's installation 'Surrealist Theatre'. Sign painting, general site dressing, de-rig jobs.
