THE

COLOURING BOOK

I created a colouring book and of my dreams with abstract illustrations, but it also serves as an archive of this project. ‘Subconscious Flow’ are a series of free-flowing abstract paintings that I use to express my inner thoughts. I designed pillows and bedsheets in the same style. I also showcased digitally manipulated film photography to create beautiful shapes with mirroring.

Part of the exhibition included a collaborative piece between me and the public in Hackney Gallery, named "The Collective Dream". The art started off as a black and white piece, and members of the public coloured it in over the course of the exhibition.
