Below is a collection of work produced by myself, inspired by art history, mythology and documentary's I will continue to update this page with more upcoming works, for more visit my other social medias to see shorts and more information.
Inspired by the workers of the Clay Country, with the influence from poems and the life of Jack Clemo, both the photographer and the model were born and raised in Cornwall and felt an immediate connection to the poet and his words, exploring what life was like as a worker of the clay works or more so a child during these times, ‘An Maw’ was created. Entitled ‘An Maw’ the phrase traslates from the Cornish language to ‘The boy ’. Re-enacting the boys life being submerged within the white hills with the metaphors of his youth as well as livelyhood being dumped from society into this repetitive walk.
Echo and narcissism is a Greek Mythology based on Narcissus, son of the river god Cephissus and Echo a wood Nymph. Echo was cursed by Hera to not be able to speak except repeat the last words addressed to her. Echo Fell in love with Narcissus but could not speak to him because of Hera’s curse. So, she was following him from the shadows, silently and in love, waiting patiently for the proper moment. At some point, Narcissus felt her presence and asked “Is anybody here?”, to which Echo replied “here”. A confusing and repetitive conversation followed until Narcissus called her to come out and make love with him. But, as soon as Echo stepped out, Narcissus told her that he’d rather die than give himself to a wood nymph. Echo, heartbroken, took refuge in a cave and lost her appetite for food or water. After a while, poor Echo started growing skinny from starvation until her body disappeared, living only dust and her voice. Nemesis, the goddess of revenge against those who show hubris, decided to punish Narcissus for the treatment of poor Echo. The goddess made Narcissus fall in love with his own reflection that he saw in a pond near Echo’s cave. Narcissus could not leave his own reflection out of love and starved to death, like Echo.
In this adaptation, due to Covid-19 restriction, this fashion film is a construct of Narcissus’s mind, falling further and further into his own self obsession, With Echo acting as an idea to show him losing his mind.
